Brody Brecht

Iowa

I think most would agree Brecht has the most electric fastball in the 2024 class; at least at this early stage. Brecht has been up to 101, sitting 98-100 in his late-inning opportunities. It's a metric-monster of a heater and is only reinforced by the elite whiff rates he generates off the pitch. He'll mix in an absolutely disgusting slider with immense depth, inducing gaudy swing-and-miss numbers. He'll also throw a traditional curveball extremely hard in the mid-80s. Brecht has a chance to possess an elite fastball and two plus-or-better breaking balls. That said, the control and command right now are below average. A two-sport guy, Brecht plays WR for Iowa as well, so juggling both sports has taken him off the mound now and again. If a point comes where he commits to baseball and stretches himself out into a starter profile, he could surge into the top 3-5 picks of the class. Until that clarity comes, he'll buoy up and down boards in the first/second round range.

Brecht needs to improve his command to move into the Montes de Oca control strata.
