Scouting Report

2025

Scouting grades: Fastball: 60 | Slider: 50 | Cutter: 50 | Changeup: 45 | Control: 50 | Overall: 45

Bragg spent three years pitching -- often sporadically -- out of Nebraska’s bullpen, though he did save five games as a junior in 2022. He moved on to Dallas Baptist for his senior season and threw well enough for the Orioles to take him in the eighth round of the 2023 Draft as a money-saving senior sign, joining the organization for an under-slot bonus of $100,000. He really didn’t land on any radars for most of his first full season, spent at Single-A in his age-23 campaign, with a 4.45 ERA through July. He opened some eyes by posting a 1.14 ERA and .208 BAA over his final six starts, then really emerged in 2025, quickly pitching his way to (and excelling with) Double-A Chesapeake, before Tommy John surgery in July derailed his progress.

The Orioles are excited about how Bragg has been using a solid four-pitch mix at the upper levels. His fastball averages around 95 mph and flirts with triple-digits, per Synergy. He backs that heater up with three secondaries which all can miss bats: a low-80s slider, mid-80s changeup and a cutter that he cranks up into the upper 80s.

Making all of this stuff more interesting is that he’s shown the ability to land them all for strikes and is missing bats at a higher rate than he did in college while keeping his walks low. It’s still a relatively small sample size from a pitcher without a long track record of amateur success, but the Orioles might have a legitimate starting pitcher on their hands once he returns from surgery.
