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.
