Scouting report
Acquired as the Player to Be Named from San Diego for Taylor Williams, Brash is another pitcher who enjoyed a couple velocity spikes over the last few years. He was 90-93 as an amateur then was 94-95 in just a couple of low-minors innings after signing. Now he's been up to 101 and is sitting 95-97. Brash worked with four pitches as a starter at Niagara and continues to do so, the best being a mid-80s slider that is already plus. This is the pitch Brash has the best feel for, and he's consistently able to locate it to his glove side, where it moves the most and is the most enticing to hitters. He'll back that up with an occasional curveball (it was his fourth pitch in college but is probably third in line now) and changeup. The slider and velocity give him an impact relief floor (assuming health) but remember that we're talking about a small school prospect who missed what would have been his first full pro season of development due to the pandemic. There's big time variance here and the arrow is pointing up. (Fall Instructional League)
