Braeden Ogle

Braeden Ogle was not a famous name on the showcase circuit. He pitched at the Perfect Game National Showcase in June of last summer and showed off a projectable skillset, but he was more of a project than he was able, with his fastball in the mid-80s and his breaking ball inconsistent. Ogle then made rapid progress, and showed consistent low 90s velocity this spring. His fastball has been clocked as high as 96 mph, though he struggled to maintain velocity earlier in the season. Ogle's offspeed stuff also shows promise, with a sharp curveball that breaks with three-quarter shape. Some scouts see it as a potential average offering, and he has a quality changeup. The southpaw has a slightly longer arm action and his back elbow is a high enough to cause some concern, but his overall package of stuff and his recent record of improvement has made him an enticing prospect. Ogle is committed to Florida.
