Brody Brecht Strikes Out Seven In Scoreless Outing
After missing nearly two months with back inflammation, Brecht has been inconsistent since returning to Low-A Fresno’s rotation. However, he delivered one of his best professional outings on Wednesday, tossing four scoreless innings with seven strikeouts while allowing three hits and one walk. Brecht features big stuff, including a fastball that sits in the mid-to-high 90s and a plus slider. He generated 11 swinging strikes in the outing and showed improved strike-throwing, though his command remained fringy, often leaving pitches over the heart of the plate. Brecht has midrotation upside but comes with concerns around health and consistent command.
