View Draft Report
Brady pitched sparingly as a freshman at East Carolina, logging only 12.1 innings in 2016. He transferred to Mercer County CC (N.J.) for his sophomore year and was one of the best junior college performers in the nation; in 84.1 innings he struck out 118, walked 10 and allowed just nine earned runs. Brady's fastball works from 90-94 mph and he shows the potential for an average breaking ball, a slurvy offering that he manipulates and changes the shape of well. He's committed to Old Dominion for his junior year.

Organization Prospect Rankings
-
TRACK RECORD: Brady showed excellent command and an attack-the-zone mentality in his first three professional seasons, striking out 157 and walking 44 in 144 2/3 innings as he climbed to high Class A. He had a brief stint at the alternate training site in 2020 before finishing in instructional league, where he placed an emphasis on getting ahead in counts and putting away hitters quicker.
SCOUTING REPORT: Brady gets well above average ride on a fastball that averages 93 mph, and he throws two different 82-mph breaking balls. One resembles a slider and one is more of a curveball depending on how he manipulates the ball, with his curveball drawing above-average grades. His improving mid-80s changeup has some fading action but doesn't have much depth. Brady has average control and is starting to understand how his stuff works: the more he stays in attack mode, the better his results usually are.
THE FUTURE: Brady has a chance to land as a back-of-the-rotation starter, but he is more likely to reach the big leagues as a middle reliever. He will likely start 2021 at Double-A.
