    Brian's profile is that of a straightforward reliever. He pitched in 80 games in four years at EKU, 72 of them out of the bullpen and averaged less than two innings pitched per outing. He dominated in 2022, allowing just 16 hits in 39.1 innings. From a stocky 5-foot-11, 220-pound frame, Brian comes from the left side with a low-90s fastball that touched as high as 95 last season, a slider in the low 80s and a high-70s curveball that had a 60% whiff rate a season ago. He also has a mid-80s changeup that he uses sparingly.
