Brett Crossland

Draft Prospects

• Ranked #180 prospect in 2025 draft
  School: Corona del Sol HS, Tempe, Ariz. Drafted/Committed: Texas
  Age At Draft: 19.0
  
  BA Grade: 50/Extreme
  
  Crossland is an extra-large righthander with a physically mature, workhorse frame at 6-foot-5, 240 pounds. He looks like a big league pitcher already and works with a functional delivery that includes a bit of depth in his arm action and a three-quarters slot. Crossland has shown loud top-end stuff as a high schooler, though his 2025 senior season saw that fastball velocity back up a bit. He’s been up to 97 mph at max in the past, but throughout the spring mostly sat in the low 90s. He throws a hard and tight slider in the mid 80s as well as a distinct curveball in the upper 70s with impressive depth and 12-to-6 shape. Both breaking balls have flashed above-average potential with some scouts throwing plus grades on the curveball. Crossland will also mix in a low-80s changeup that has impressive armside fading life. Crossland’s strikes come and go, and he’s still ironing out some of the consistency with his release point. Crossland has the look of a workhorse starter who should get to an upper-90s fastball with a deep mix of secondaries, but teams might prefer to see him continue his development at Texas. He turns 19 on draft day and will be a draft-eligible sophomore in 2027 if he makes it to campus.

• Ranked #21 prospect in 2025 draft
  School: Mountain Pointe HS, Phoenix Committed: Texas
  Age At Draft: 19.0
  Crossland has an extra-large, physically mature 6-foot-5 frame with some of the best raw stuff in the country, headlined by a power fastball that has already reached 97 mph. The depth of quality pitches in Crossland’s repertoire has impressed as well. He throws a hard, tight slider at 83-87 mph and a sharp curveball at 76-80 mph, with tight rotation on both breaking balls. Crossland hasn’t used his changeup as much but it’s another swing-and-miss pitch with good sink and fade to help neutralize lefties. Crossland’s strike-throwing has taken a step forward, but that’s still the part of his game that will need the most development as he learns to repeat his delivery more consistently.
