Bryce Brentz

Bio

School: Middle Tennessee State
Drafted: 36th overall pick of the 2010 draft by the Boston Red Sox
Scouting Report: Brentz is one of the top outfield bats in the 2010 draft class, bringing a classic field skill set to the table. At the plate, Brentz utilizes quick wrists and a short path to the ball to produce above-average power to all fields and particularly impressive power to left field. He's clean and compact with some natural lift in his swing allowing for projection on both the hit tool and power tool. In the field he shows solid range for a corner outfielder and more than enough arm strength to hold down right field. He has room in his frame to add another 10-15 pounds and compares favorably to Nick Markakis in both frame and skill set. As a pitcher, Brentz throws with some effort and a short, quick arm action. His fastball was clocked at 90-89mph and his slider at 78-72mph. His fastball shows some run and projects to an average Major League pitch, lacking consistency and shape. Brentz also mixes in a solid changeup at 81-79mph, flashing solid fade. While a fine pitcher, Brentz's professional future is as and outfielder. - www.draftamerica.com
