Pitching
His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He walks too many hitters and throws too many pitches. He's almost as effective against lefthanders as he is versus righthanders.
Defense & Hitting
He has a fair pickoff move and isn't a particularly easy target for basestealers. Braund is nothing special in the field. Braund is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Braund has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Braund as a pinch-runner on occasion.
2025 Outlook
Braund has below average skills, even for the low minors. One has to expect the Retired or Inactive Players will give him his walking papers before the end of the season. I just don't know if The Retired or Inactive Players are ever going to get what they expect out of him.
