Braxton Garrett’s Scouting Report
Garrett is a tall, lean and athletic pitcher with a projectable frame and has all the makings of an early first-round pick. He has a polished, repeatable delivery with a 3/4 arm slot to go with excellent command. Garrett’s curveball has the potential to be nasty, but his changeup needs work. Overall, he looks like a future front of the rotation starter once he gets a few years of experience under his belt.
