Braden Vineyard is a 2023 1B/RHP/C with a 6-5 185 lb. frame from Temperance, MI who attends Bedford. Very long lean build with plenty of time and room to get stronger. 7.93 runner in the sixty. Primary first baseman on defense, long and hooked arm action throwing the ball, some carry on his throws, presents a big target for throws with good reach. Also caught, has young fundamentals here with developing hand strength and receiving skills, similar long arm action with some carry on his throws. Right handed hitter, hits from a wide stance with a toe tap trigger to start his swing, deep hand load, long and extended upper body swing, raw bat speed will continue to improve with additional strength and physical maturity. Also pitched, has a compact arm action with a high 3/4's tight arm slot, high leg lift delivery with a fast tempo to his mechanics. Worked in the mid-70's with his fastball with good downhill plane when he got it down in the zone. Curveball showed good promise with a nice tunnel with his fastball and some downer biting action. Has a higher ceiling on the mound at present than as a position player. Good student.
