From Banfield: “Brett is a projectable left-hander that will get into the mid-80s with a clean arm action. With continued physical development we think he has a chance to really blossom under Coach McKinney as he’s just scratching the surface of what he could be. Additionally, Brett earned the Buckingham Award, the highest academic award an incoming freshman can receive here, and sports a perfect 36 ACT score."
