Physical Description: Large and athletic frame; has added a decent amount of muscle during instructus. Shorter arms complement his thick lower half. Good size with more room for added weight as he develops into his body.
Mechanics: Tight and compact three-quarter delivery from the right side. Whippy arm action and immediate downhill plane. Solid extension; a bit of separation within his lower half. Lands stiff at times within his windup. Deliberate actions on the mound with a bit of effort in delivery.
Fastball: Mid-90s offering that continues to increase its velocity. Fastball sits 92-94 and has reached 95-96. Thrown with a good sink towards the bottom of the zone. Forces soft contact; though it lacks consistent swing and miss results. Thrown with fervor and solid command. Grade: 55
Curveball: Low-70s curveball that is tinkering on an above-average grade. Tightened rotation and spin gives it solid depth and 12-6 shape. Good break out of the zone. Still a bit loopy, eats up the plate. Solid offering with a chance to be even better down the road. Grade: 50
Slider: Low-to-mid 80s slider; sits 82-85 with wipeout movement. Horizontal break forces whiffs out of the zone. Thrown with more consistency, better command than his curveball to this point. Solid putout pitch in his repertoire. Hard break and movement gives it an edge as his most consistent off-speed pitch. Grade: 55
Changeup: Mid-80s changeup that shows potential. Sits 83-86 with good deception and drop off in velocity. Still lacks consistent shape and fade. Needs to develop a better feel for the pitch. Showing strides in its improvement, has a chance to be a decent fourth pitch. Grade: 45
Control and Command: Has the stuff to force whiffs, lacks solid command. Struggles to find a feel for the zone, leaves a lot over the plate. Doesn't particularly attack above the zone; stays at the knees and attacks the bottom two quadrants. Gives up a good amount of walks and hard contact. May need to smooth his mechanics to see improved command. Control: 45 | Command: 40
Overall: Bradley continues to grow into his body, and so does his velocity. His fastball is reaching the mid-90s while his slider and curveball aren't too far behind in its movement. There may be some reliever risk if Bradley doesn't hone in on his command, as his stuff does fade as he gets deeper in starts. He has the stuff, but learning how to pitch is a different animal at times.
