Austin Brown, Wasatch (UT), 2028
Positional Profile: OF/1B A small town kid that performs and shows the ability to compete in the summer vs higher quality big school pitching. For a small framed kid, he possesses arm strength and the ability to throw K's!
Body: 6-0, 189-pounds. Lean athletic look with a elite next level type build
Hit: LHH. Upright semi spread and even prop with the bat high and at a 45 over his back shoulder Fluid path with big metrics at every event. Slight uphill and on-plane efficient stroke to hit! 76 mph bat speed with 13 G's of rotational acceleration.
Power: 99 max exit velocity, averaged 92.3 mph. 365' max distance. Huge power and best raw power in the 2028 class across the country. Hit a HR over the scoreboad at LakePoint at last summer's Future Games. 15U National HR Derby Champion.
Arm: LH. OF-82 mph. Arm works and plays one hop to the target. Can envision an upper 80's to 90 arm by 2028.
Defense: Gets solid reads and jumps for a freshman. Looks the part in the OF. Makes all the routinw with solid movement patterns.
ATH: 7.27 runner in the 60. Smooth running strides with improvements as his lower 1/2 strength kicks in.
Vizual Edge: 83.22 Edge Score

The son of former 13 year MLB veteran and All-Star catcher John Buck, Brody has made huge strides in the past year since we first saw him at the Preseason ID, Preseason All-State and Top Prospect Games. The typical late bloomer physically, Brody is a switch hitting catcher that is stronger from his non dominant LH side. The swing was more controlled and on plane since this past July, showing much improved body control and firing his hands and back hip at and through the baseball. The ball jumped off his bat to RCF, splitting the gap with backspin. With pop times in the 2.0-2.1 range now and showing a big jump from 2.16-2.30 in early February! Look for Brody to continue to grow and fill out moving forward and with the switch hitting profile behind the plate, it will be fun to see where he is at come next February and into the spring and summer after his sophomore year!
