TRACK RECORD:

A 2017 10th-rounder from NAIA power Lewis-Clark State, Brogdon is a big, hardthrowing righthander who logged a 2.50 ERA in three minor league seasons and earned a spot at the Phillies alternate training site in 2020. He made his major league debut in August and became one of the few reliable members of the Phillies' MLB-worst bullpen, pitching to a 3.97 ERA in nine appearances with 17 strikeouts, five walks and five hits allowed in 11.1 innings.

SCOUTING REPORT: Brogdon's arsenal is headlined by a plus fastball that averages 95 mph and has a high spin rate between 2,400-2,500 rpm. In the past he's thrown a 79-83 mph slider that doesn't have much power and featured slurvy action, but he ditched the pitch in the majors. His circle changeup averages 84 mph with good deception and plus fading life. Major league hitters struggled against the pitch, producing just two hits in 16 at-bats--both singles--and striking out eight times. Brogdon has average control.

THE FUTURE: Brogdon solidified himself as a valuable weapon out of the bullpen. He will need to cut down on his walk rate and continue staying aggressive in the zone.
