View Draft Report
A shortstop in high school who became a reliever at Santa Ana (Calif.) JC, Brattvet became a starter after transferring to Bakersfield and put together a strong senior year, going 9-1, 2.66 through 14 starts. Scouts like his athleticism, his fresh arm and his ability to command his fastball, which sits at 90-93 mph and bumps 94-95, with sinking life. When his timing is right, he shows an average slider, but he needs to become more consistent with the pitch. He lacks a quality changeup and doesn't hold his velocity deep into games, so he profiles best as a reliever. He stands a solid chance to be drafted in the top 10 rounds as a senior sign.
