View Draft Report
Braun started his college career as a reliever at San Diego for two seasons before transferring to Cal State Northridge and becoming a starter. He took a star turn for the Anchorage Glacier Pilots in the Alaska League last summer and carried into his senior season. Braun went 6-5, 4.83 as the Matadors’ top starter and finished third in the Big West Conference with 100 strikeouts, the most by a CSUN starter since current Angels lefthander Kenny Rosenberg in 2016. Braun is a 6-foot, 185-pound righthander with a solid three-pitch arsenal and a notable competitive streak. His fastball ranges from 90-95 mph and is his primary pitch he uses heavily. His mid-80s, vertical slider is an average pitch that flashes higher and his low-80’s changeup is another average offering with late drop under barrels. He is a solid athlete who throws strikes and goes after hitters aggressively. Braun pitches exclusively from the stretch and has some effort to his delivery, leading to projections he’ll eventually move to the bullpen. He has an outside chance to start and projects to be drafted as a senior sign.
