Scouting Report: Bryan Brickhouse, RHP, The Woodlands (TX) HS (2011 Draft)
By The Baseball Beginnings Guy
November 3, 2010
Bryan Brickhouse comes from Texas, where they grow the big strong high school right-handers by the bushel, so it seems. My conclusion is that I liked this guy and that he has some things to work on in order to become a really top shelf guy. That in no way, shape or form is a dig at the guy, because he does have the chance to be a top-shelfer.

WEAKNESSES: Needs to stay in mechanics; overthrew instead of letting it come, too many fastballs started up. Correctable mechanical flaws with talent to absorb changes and succeed. Straight CHG 81, lacks feel at this time.
