Power arm with SEC upside, but elbow injury clouds 2026 availability
In the 2026 season, Georgia right-hander Brad Pruett flashed swing-and-miss stuff in relief, striking out 12 while pitching 7 2/3 innings, but his year was interrupted by an elbow fracture that required surgery and ended his regular season[11]. The selling points are clear: a big 6-3, 211-pound frame, proven transfer pedigree from Oklahoma and East Carolina, and a history of missing bats, including 70 strikeouts over 66 innings in 2025[2][3]. If you want a bullpen arm with real upside and toughness, he fits; if you need immediate health certainty, the elbow history is the red flag[11].
