Brooks Brannon
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Profiles as a bat-first catcher with a chance to reach the majors in a part-time or second-division role if the hit tool and receiving both take incremental steps forward. The carrying tool is his power, which could play to solid game impact if he lifts contact rates and improves swing decisions. There is significant risk he moves off catcher to first base or DH, where the offensive bar is much higher and his below-average hit tool would likely cap him as a depth option. Realistic outcome is a high-minors to up-and-down type who can provide right-handed power depth and emergency catching, with a smaller chance he tightens the approach enough to carve out a low-end regular role behind the plate.
