View Draft Report
Brodersen is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound righthander who spent three seasons with Division II Wingate (N.C.) before transferring to Louisiana Tech for the 2024 season. He was a full-time reliever this spring but posted a 3.05 ERA over 56 innings in the role with a 40% strikeout rate, 16.7% walk rate and two loud pitches. Brodersen averaged 93 mph with his fastball and gets the pitch up into the 96-97 mph range at peak with well above-average riding life from a relatively flat approach angle that helps the pitch play up. He throws a mid-80s slider as often as the fastball and the pitch features solid 10-to-4 shape and spin rates around 2,600 rpm. Brodersen is old for the class but with two solid pitches and below-average control he could fit in a bullpen as a senior sign target.
