Brayden Metcalf is a 2024 SS/RHP, LHP, 2B, 3B with a 5-6 115 lb. frame from Gardner, KS who attends Gardner Edgerton. Compact frame with a lean build. Projects for additional strength. Primary shortstop with deliberate footwork while working to the baseball. Funnels from a deeper position and worked through exchange efficiently. Released from a three-quarters slot creating occasional carry to the bag at 59 mph. Left handed hitter with an upright, even stance and medium leg lift trigger. Works to contact with rotational lower half actions. Hands slide to a slightly lower position before launch with a slightly lifted plane through extension. Flashed solid feel for the barrel while employing a mid field approach. Also pitched as a both handed pitcher. Utilized a side step to medium leg lift delivery. Lands in line and showed solid lower half actions to the plate. Medium arm circle at take back and released from a high three-quarters to near over top arm side. Fastball generated occasional downhill plane in the upper 50's, topped at 59 mph. Also flashed a breaking ball with looser spin and occasional depth in the low 50's. Good student.
