Track Record: Bratt was born and raised in Ontario, Canada, but transferred to Georgia Premier Academy during the pandemic in order to be seen by scouts. The move worked. An improvement in his fastball earned Bratt the Rangers' fifth-round pick and the corresponding $850,000, which tied him with the White Sox's Tanner McDougal for the second highest in the round. He followed his high school season with a stint in the newly formed MLB Draft League, where he whiffed 44 in 28 innings.

Scouting Report: Bratt works with a three-pitch mix centered around a dynamic fastball-changeup combination. In four appearances in the Arizona Complex League, Bratt showed a low-90s fastball that topped at 94 and combined it primarily with a low-80s changeup thrown with enough arm speed and conviction to get swings and misses. He also throws both a 72-75 mph curveball and a slider with a touch more velo, with the former ahead of the latter in terms of development. His delivery is loose and athletic, giving the Rangers dreams of plenty of upside to come as Bratt gets older and stronger.

The Future: Bratt is a far-away upside play, but his start in the Arizona Complex League showed hints of good things to come thanks to a combination of strikes and stuff. He could move up to Low-A in 2022.
