SCOUT REPORT

Christian Brothers HS (Memphis, Tenn.) has sent 11 players to the Majors, most notably All-Star catcher Tim McCarver. The Purple Wave now have the best prep catching prospect in the 2026 Draft after Brick reclassified from the 2027 class. He made that decision in October after starring for Team USA at the 18-and-under World Cup in Japan, batting .333 while providing quality defense behind the plate as the second-youngest player on the squad. Brick's best tool is his well-above-average arm strength, as he regularly records sub-1.9-second pop times and can throw out basestealers from his knees. Gatorade's Tennessee high school player of the year, he moves well behind the plate and shows the potential to become a plus receiver and blocker once he improves his one-knee technique. He didn't have any issues handling the premium stuff he saw with the U.S. 18-and-under team and scouts rave about his makeup. Brick's bat hasn't been as good as anticipated this spring. The Mississippi State recruit has a quick right-handed stroke but gets too passive at times and his long levers result in some in-zone swing-and-miss worries. He displays plus raw power in batting practice but focuses more on hitting line drives during game action.
