The Book on Bryce Brentz

Prospect Info

Bryce Brentz
Born 12/30/1988
OF, BOS

A two-way player who was originally drafted by the Indians as a pitcher, Tennessee's Bryce Brentz should probably now be considered a full-time outfielder despite his success on the mound. Pitching aside, Brentz is a hard-hitting corner outfielder who should move quickly in pro baseball. Built like a tree-trunk, Brentz uses his whole body well in his right-handed swing, getting maximum power from his hip rotation to splash line-drives to all fields with apparent ease.

While he hasn't yet been able to find the outfield fences with much regularity, his high contact ability should translate well to the majors, helping him avoid the all-or-nothing club that big bats often slide into. He's a few years away from any sort of MLB debut, but he's a near-lock to get there eventually. Nick Markakis is often cited as a fair comparison for Brentz's build and toolset.
