Brady Sell (‘26, PA) • RHP • Lafayette College commit • 5’11” 196lb


Athletic and strong RHP with a drop-and-drive delivery that keeps him grounded in his legs, allowing for efficient energy transfer and explosive drive down the mound.

The fastball rides through the zone with late life, playing especially well at the top of the zone and inducing frequent swing-and-miss. Slider features tight shape with late, sharp bite, consistently missing barrels and disrupting timing. Advanced pitch metrics and repeatable mechanics make him a high-follow arm with significant upside at the next level.
