What Coaches Say
Stay on their necks, Rabbit, at all times.
Coach Nick Maness
I really enjoyed coaching Brayden during All States in Texas. He's the type of player every coach wants to have around. He competes, he listens, he works, and he genuinely loves to play the game. What stood out to me most was his approach and his willingness to do whatever the team needed to help us win.
Brayden has a great combination of ability, work ethic, and character, and I believe he has a lot of room to continue developing and reaching his potential. He was a pleasure to coach, and I'd be excited to have the opportunity to coach him again in the future. Any college program would be getting a quality baseball player and, more importantly, a great young man.
Coach Eddie Ojeda
Everyone throws the term 'team player' around loosely, but Brayden truly embodies what it means to be one. His selfless approach, love for the game, and willingness to do whatever it takes for his teammates are what makes him special.
That mindset pairs well with his athleticism and overall baseball ability. As the older generation would say, Brayden has juice. He has pop in his bat, speed on the bases, and is a very sound defender. He brings energy to the field and has the tools to make an impact in multiple areas of the game.
Brayden has a very bright future ahead of him if he continues to work, stay humble, and grind the way he has.
