Braden Booth brings a power arm, two-way pedigree, and big-game swagger to Mississippi State
Braden Booth entered Mississippi State as a redshirt freshman right-hander from Bob Jones HS after starring as Alabama’s 2024 Gatorade Player of the Year, when he posted a 13-1 record, a 1.51 ERA, and 127 strikeouts in 83.1 innings while also hitting .429 with 10 homers. He was also the MVP of the 7A state title series, which tells you he doesn’t shy away from pressure. For a staff, that mix of projectable size, competitiveness, and proven strike-throwing upside makes him an appealing arm if you want someone with real ceiling and a little edge.
