After turning pro as a 21st-rounder out of junior college, Brosius worked his way through three levels of the system as a reliever. He spent two years as a backup quarterback at North Carolina State before deciding to transfer to Walters State (Tenn.) CC in 2013 and return to the diamond. In a private workout with the Braves, he hit four of 10 pitches over the fence and sat in the low 90s with his fastball. After one juco season, Brosius turned down offers to play baseball and football at Appalachian State to sign with Atlanta. A big-bodied righthander with above-average strength and athleticism, Brosius throws a heavy fastball in the 90-93 mph range. He mixes it with a hard curveball and a power slider/cutter that touches 87 mph. He does a good job of working down in the zone, which results in numerous groundouts. Brosius could move quickly once he gains a firmer foundation after being away from the game for two years. He will open 2014 at either low Class A Rome or high Class A Lynchburg, based on the progress he shows in spring training.
