View Draft Report

When Brettell's stuff is at its best, it's pretty impressive. His 92-93 mph fastball has excellent sink and he can also get some late life up in the zone. He also gets good late drop on his 81-84 mph changeup that generates average grades. But Brettell's below-average slider is a little slurvy and he doesn't have much confidence in it. Brettell' stuff is very hittable when he struggles to generate sink and his margin of error is small, which is why he'll likely last until day three of the draft.
