Live-Arm Jaspers RHP with Power-Pitch Upside
Ryan Brader is a right-handed pitcher for Manhattan who arrived with real velocity upside—his fastball was reported to touch 94 mph as a recruit—and he entered the program with preseason All-American recognition from Perfect Game and Baseball Factory. In the 2026 season, Manhattan listed him as a redshirt sophomore, but the roster bio says he did not play, so the key takeaway is projection rather than production. He also brings an academic profile, earning MAAC academic honors, which hints at the kind of reliable, coachable fit teams like to bet on.
