Braden Richardson is a 2027 2B/RHP/3B/OF with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from Tega Cay, SC who attends Fort Mill. Medium frame with wiry strength, explosiveness to his action and plenty of time to add more physicality. Ran the 60 yard dash in 6.91 seconds. Primary position infielder, using big strides and first step quickness to cover ground nicely. Presents glove out front softly and uses deeper midline funnel to transfer. Elite level arm strength for his class ripping feeds up to 89 mph across the diamond. Secondary RHP, full windup from the 1B side of the rubber, small step in front to to quick chest high leg lift, hands at the chest breaking into a very deep mostly inline arm path, good cadence to him working quick and aggressively, accelerates through a high 3/4 arm angle, works fast and is strong kid who knows how to accelerate his arm, gets some nice shoulder tilt as he works to the plate and allows him to generate a lot of torque through the glove side, fastball really plays with some good angle to it and life through the zone up to 87 mph keeping it on the plate, breaking ball in the low-70s with emerging feel and more to come. Reps in the outfield as well, moving deliberately to the ball with one hand gather off to the side. Accurate feeds back to bags up to 87 mph here. RHH working from an even start using a small negative load to backside starting with barrel flat over shoulder. Small stride with clean path to impact, showing some looseness and extension to his swing. Works to get on plane and did show some lofted power to the pull side. Outstanding student as well.
