Tyler Bremner
RHP UC Santa Barbara
20/years old
6' 2" 190
Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Slider: 55 | Changeup: 65 |
Control: 55 | Overall: 60
In his first two years at Santa Barbara, Bremner has slid
back and forth between starting and relieving, finding success in both roles in
2024 to put up gaudy numbers. He began the year in the rotation but moved to
the bullpen when Hudson Barrett got hurt. He was back in the rotation when Matt
Ager struggled, helping the Gauchos reach (and host) a Regional.
With the chance for three plus pitches and easy velocity,
Bremner has some thinking he could figure into conversations at the very top of
the 2025 Draft. His fastball averaged a tick over 95 mph in 2024 and touched 98
mph with good ride, lighting up the radar gun with little effort and with some
feeling there’s room for growth and more velocity to come in pro ball. His best
secondary offering is his easily plus changeup that some scouts hang a 70 grade
on. He’ll throw it to any hitter in any count, and it stays on the fastball
plane for a long time with late, hard fade, missing bats at a 46-percent clip
in 2024. His 86-88 mph slider with gyro-type shape has improved as well.
Perhaps the only question surrounding Bremner is about
durability, as he’s yet to show he can handle a full season of starting. But he
throws all of his pitches for strikes and misses bats with all three offerings.
Proving he can take the ball every Friday this spring should cement him near
the top of most Draft boards.

4. Colorado Rockies: Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara
UC Santa Barbara’s Tyler Bremner is the best right-handed
pitcher in the 2025 MLB Draft. Standing at 6-foot-2, the 20-year-old hurler’s
arsenal is led by a changeup that flummoxed hitters this past season. There are
certainly legitimate questions about whether Bremner’s numbers are legit or
just a reflection on facing a lesser talent pool at the collegiate level. He
also carries concerns about how effective he could be over a full season since
he hasn’t thrown 90-plus innings in a season entering 2025. However, the
righty’s three-pitch arsenal (changeup, fastball and slider) paired with the
improvements he’s made specifically with the fastball and slider bode well for
his long-term development. He’d need a few years in the minors, but the
Colorado Rockies need long-term pitching help and there are few things in
baseball more valuable than a cost-effective quality starter.
Tyler Bremner stats (2024): 2.54 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 104-21 K-BB,
57 hits allowed in 88.2 innings pitched

5. St. Louis Cardinals: Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara
Baseball
Bremner may be the best pitcher in the class. He touches 98
mph and throws strong off-speed pitches with a changeup and a slider.
He will make his case as college baseball’s top pitcher after
going 11-1 with a 2.54 ERA in 88 2/3 Innings as a sophomore for the Gauchos.
Bremner could pitch his way to the No. 1 spot this season.

MLB 2025 Mock Draft 2.0: Predictions for Every 1st-Round Pick
4. Colorado Rockies: RHP Tyler Bremner, UC Santa Barbara
Bremner spent the past two seasons bouncing between the
rotation and bullpen for UC Santa Barbara, posting a 3.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and
184 strikeouts in 144 innings spanning 17 starts and 19 relief appearances. He
had a 104-to-21 strikeout-to-walk ratio over 88.2 innings in 2024, and with a
polished three-pitch repertoire and plus command there is little doubt he has
the stuff to start. The question is whether he can hold up over a larger
workload.

3. Tyler Bremner – RHP
HT/WT: 6’2/190 | Bat/Throw: R/R | School: UC Santa Barbara |
Age: 21.2
The best mid-major arm in this class, Bremner has a
legitimate shot at being the first arm off the board thanks to fantastic
athleticism, starter traits, and exceptionally loud stuff.
Bremner’s body is uber-projectable with skinny, lanky limbs
and the delivery is as easy as it can get, featuring little to no effort and
excellent body control down the bump.
His case for best arm in the class gets better with the
arsenal. Bremner’s fastball has seen a jump in velocity, sitting in the mid-90s
presently and flashing 97-98 MPH in shorter stints with Team USA this summer.
He can vary the shape of the heater, showcasing quality carry upstairs with
some flatness and more tailing action at the knees.
His change-up is his bread and butter, a double-plus offering
with screwball-esque shape, high spin, and excellent velocity separation off
the heater in the low-80s.
Bremner has huge confidence in the pitch and can command it
exceptionally to both sides of the plate. The slider has taken a jump forward,
as well, becoming a two-plane monster with late bite in the upper-80s this
summer.
There’s a chance for three above-average or better offerings
with above-average command.

5. Tyler Bremner, RHP,
UC Santa Barbara
The second college starter has one of the more elite pitches
in college baseball in his changeup. But, does not have quite the success and
track record as a starter as Arnold. Flashes a plus fastball and slider to go
along with his change. He has swing-and-miss stuff that teams covet and could
see himself climb into top-3 territory with a strong 2025 season.

4. Colorado Rockies: Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara
The best righty in the college class pitches on the west
coast and the Rockies grab another hurler here. The 6-2, 190 pounder shows
three plus pitches with a fastball up to 98 mph and a plus changeup. He needs
innings and has some durability questions but he should go in this range next
July.

3. Mariners: Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara (No. 4)
Bremner has the best changeup in the Draft, not to mention a
quality fastball and slider and command, so the Gauchos could produce the first
college pitcher taken for the second time in 11 Drafts (Dillon Tate, 2015).

2. Los Angeles Angels
Tyler Bremner, RHP — UC Santa Barbara
HOMETOWN: San Diego, California
HEIGHT: 6-2
WEIGHT: 190
BAT/THROW: R-R
Bremner is a really nice pitching prospect who struck out 104
in just 88.2 innings this spring. He walked just 21 hitters. The fastball has
teeth and is already up to 98 mph with big vertical carry. The changeup is his
best secondary with some strong fading action and higher spin rates giving it
arm-side action. He’s also been developing a sweeper and that’s a pitch that
has taken major strides over the last calendar year.
The entire arsenal is thrown out of a deceptive slot; tough
for the opposition to pick up, let alone square up. It’s all complimented by
above-average control for the strike zone.
The Angels have long needed pitching and Bremner is that in
spades.
8/11/24 - Sports Gambling Podcast - 2025 Mock Draft
At 6-2, 190 pounds, Bremner is an explosive metric darling.
He features a mid-to-high 90s fastball with a big iVB and a deceptive delivery
that allows his fastball and changeup combo to play up. Bremner was awarded the
2023 Big West Pitcher of the Year after an 11-1, 2.54 ERA, 104 K, 21 BB, 88.2
IP campaign.
link - RHP Tyler Bremner - UC Santa Barbara
FUN. That’s the main word I can come up with to describe
Bremner’s stuff. It’s an electric factory on the mound. During the season,
Bremner was mid-90s with his fastball. Tyler caught him at USA Collegiate
National Team, where he was sitting 96-98. Shorter stint, but it lets you know
that the upper-90s might be achievable in longer stints in due time.
He pairs that fastball with a couple of plus secondaries. The
slider is disgusting, and his low-to-mid 80s changeup has a ton of spin and
depth. He throws all his pitches with confidence and excellent command. He’ll
embark on a junior campaign where he will continue building on an already
fantastic pitch mix.
Bremner has all the makings you want to be one of the best
arms in the 2025 MLB Draft class. He’ll get some solid competition from Florida
State’s Jamie Arnold and prep-arm Seth Hernandez, though.

Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara- Bremner’s velocity has
taken a substantial leap from high school as he now pitches comfortably in the
95-96 mph range. From a three-quarter release point his arm is super quick, his
head quiet and overall it’s a starter ease of operation.
He has three plus to better pitches in his fastball, breaking
ball and changeup. His 79-82 mph changeup is the best of the three and grades
as a 70 (plus-plus). He can land it for strikes on both sides of the plate vs
right handed and left handed batters. It’s a nasty swing/miss pitch with depth
and fade.
He can also manipulate the action and cut it to his
gloveside. Another near 70-grade pitch is his turbo sweeper at 88-89 mph. He
also flashed a plus hook with more depth and up/down break at 84 mph.
Bremner showed the best “stuff” of any pitcher I saw this
summer and his changeup might be the best pitch in college baseball, comparable
to Kevin Kopps’ (Arkansas) cutter in 2021. He’s also a low-pulse guy who looks
to have an inner edge. Some scouts have already begun to compare Bremner to
Aaron Nola.
If the 2025 draft were next week, Bremner would likely be one
of the first collegians off the board.
4. Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara
Speaking of college arms, Bremner is another high-upside
pitcher who could pitch himself into the top five in the 2025 MLB Draft. Like
Arnold, he saw mixed results as a freshman in 2023 across 55.1 innings. But he
burst onto the scene in 2024 at UCSB, going 11-1 with a 2.54 ERA and 0.88 WHIP
across 88.2 innings and 19 appearances.
Bremner struck out 104 compared to 21 walks, and he is a true
power arm from the right side that usually sits in the upper 90s. If he has
another strong year, he could definitely push to be the top arm off the board.
