Fastball: Brackman threw his fastballs 92-97 mph, both a two- and four-seamer.
FB Movement: His two-seamer had plus life and was effective in the zone.
Curve: Brackman features a knuckle curve that he throws 78-81 mph. It was inconsistent on Friday, largely because of the cold weather (35 degrees).
Changeup: Brackman threw his changeup in the 82-84 mph zone. It's an average offering he keeps around the strike zone.
Control: Brackman commanded his two-seamer extremely well, hititng the inside part of the plate at will. His command of his breaking stuff was less consistent.
Poise: Brackman competed very well and went right after hitters in his debut.
Physical Description: Big, former basketball player who shows impressive athleticism despite his size.
Medical Update: Healthy.
Strengths: Above-average velocity on his two- and four-seam fastballs, with plus command of the two-seamer.
Weaknesses: Command of his curve. Brackman will need to show he can throw his knuckle curve for strikes more consistently. It's a difficult pitch to command and while hitters in college will swing at it, professional hitters will lay off if it's out of the zone.
Summary: The concern with Brackman heading into his first full season as a baseball player only was how durable he would be. The former basketball standout had never spent an entire college season as a starting pitcher and he ended up being shut down with a tired arm late in the year. Still, the pure stuff, including a 97-mph fastball when he

I wanted Harvey. But his dad babied him this year. As far as I know he pitched once a week, most of the time on 6 days rest. I like my pitchers that are drafted to have proven they could be durable. I don't know about Brackman
