Pittsburgh Pirates Prospect Report: Steven Brault
The Pittsburgh Pirates number 25 prospect is Steven Brault, the first on the list that wasn’t drafted by the team. He was originally picked by the Baltimore Orioles in 2013 and was traded to the Pirates for Travis Snider before the 2015 season.
To be frank, Steven Brault is a rather generic pitching prospect and more so, further evidence to teach your kids to throw lefty. He throws three average pitches – fastball, slider, changeup – and tops out in the low 90s but still finds a way to strike batters out. In 2015, he spent the second half of the season at Double-A Altoona where he struck out 8 per nine innings, a career high.
