Braden Leed brings pro-style stuff and polish to Penn State’s mound mix
Leed enters Penn State with a strong pitchability profile: in his 2025 high school season, he logged a 4.67 ERA, 38 strikeouts in 30 innings, and held hitters to a .205 average against, while Penn State lists him as a durable righty with a 6-foot-3 frame, a fast arm, and a fastball that has sat in the upper-80s and touched 92 mph. Evaluators praise his arm-side run, sink, and ability to shape both a breaking ball and slider, which makes him more than just a radar-gun guy. He looks like a good fit if a team wants strike-throwing upside with some nasty movement.
