LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 National Showcase
Todd Brazeal is a 2007 right hand hitting 3rd baseman/corner outfielder from Chamberlain HS, residing in Tampa, FL. Brazeal has a strong, physical, well-proportioned build on his 6'3" 213 lb. frame. He certainly passes the eye test. Brazeal also does an awful lot right on the field and was ranked #90 among PG National Top 100 position players. There are some at-bats when Brazeal looks like he is an offensive force just waiting to happen, on a consistent basis. He sets up very aggressively at the plate and has the look of a hitter from the moment he steps in the box. His raw strength shows when he makes contact because he can overpower the ball. He is also the type of hitter that doesn't have to make square barrel contact to get hits, he is strong enough to find the outfield grass even if he gets it a bit off the label. Brazeal has a quick bat and his swing is very lively through the zone. He drives the ball hard into the gaps and shows good present day power that should continue to develop as he becomes a better overall hitter. Another thing Brazeal showed that was impressive was his penchant for hammering mistake pitches. He is a middle of the line-up run producer that has a chance to also hit for some average. Over at 3rd base he showed a well-rounded set of abilities for the hot corner. His arm and hands are both very good and he really handled the position quite well. He looks like a MLB 3rd baseman and brings a lot of what scouts look for at that position. Look for Brazeal to get strong draft attention this spring, as the top Tampa area players usually do. He will be an immediate impact player in a D1 program if he goes to school. Brazeal ran 4.69 home/1st, with a 7.36 60.
