Derek Brieden is a 2021 RHP/OF with a 6-2 168 lb. frame from Conroe, TX who attends Caney Creek HS. Long and lanky pitcher's build, lots of physical projection and room to get stronger. Simple and repeatable delivery mechanics, arm is loose and whippy coming through 3/4's arm slot. Fastball topped out at 85 mph, lots more velocity potentially in there with additional strength, heavy lively fastball shows consistent hard run and sink. Cut fastball/slider was his out pitch, has late biting action and is thrown with purpose and power. Sweeping curveball with 2/8 shape. Poised pitcher who works with a plan and pitches to spots. Follow closely for further development. Very good student. Named to the 2018 National Underclass South Showcase Top Prospect List.
