SS Brayden Steinbecker (Manitowoc Lincoln, 2025) is another intriguing prospect in the class of ‘25. Standing at 6-foot-3, 170 pounds, Steinbecker has an athletic build with long levers that shows projectability. At the plate, the righty has a short path to the ball – showed line-drive ability into both gaps. He recorded a max exit velocity of 86.9 mph, though given his size, levers, and athleticism, his offensive profile is particularly projectable. On the defensive end, he showed off his athleticism and quick arm from both the outfield and infield positions. From the outfield he recorded a max velocity of 81 mph, and from the infield he recorded a max velocity across the diamond of 77 mph.
Steinbecker is listed at a wiry 6-foot-2, 168 pounds with quick-twitch and athleticism. He has a projectable frame and should continue to add size and strength. Steinbecker showed out well in batting practice, lacing line-drives to both gaps from a balanced swing and quick hands. He registered a top max exit velocity of 90 mph as evidence of this, and he also showed well in infield work, displaying a quick first step and soft hands fielding ground balls out in front. Steinbecker earned a spot on our first edition of the state’s Class of 2025 rankings, and he reiterated why that was the case over the weekend.
The lanky, long-levered 6-foot-1, 158-pound Steinbecker reached 79.6 mph and 79.7 mph on his last two fastballs from a quick over-the-top slot, and he similarly flashed some offensive upside from the right-handed box.
