2022 LHP/1B Bradley Hodges is the 2022 PBR Florida Player of the Year. Hodges, a Virginia recruit, attends St. Johns Country Day School in Orange Park, FL.

Offensively, Hodges batted .516 with 47 hits, 32 RBI, 11 doubles, and 9 homeruns. On the mound, he went 10-0 with a 1.28 ERA and 114 strikeouts in 60 innings pitched.

8/22/19

Committed to Virginia after the event. Two-way player with potential for that designation to stay with feel for an above average breaking ball on the mound and an advanced approach from the left side at the plate. 7.29 runner with high IQ on the basepaths. Medium build with broad shoulders. Contact-first approach with good plate discipline. Drew a couple of walks and had some long, hard-fought at bats. Short and compact to the ball with a level path. Uses short, toe-tap stride. Average defender with clean glove actions. On the mound, he sat 82-83 with feel for the 68-70 mph breaking ball with good depth. There’s room to add velo in the frame with some pitchability and above average secondary stuff. 75 arm velo from the OF, 84 mph exit velocity.

6/23/19

Athletic and lanky frame at 5-foot-10, 155 pounds with room for growth. Throws from the high ¾ arm slot with short loose arm action. Sits 81-82 from the left side with his fastball, 72-73 with his curveball with near fastball arm speed and average depth, 70-72 with changeup that has some sink. Commands the strike zone with all pitches and keeps the ball low. Balanced approach at the plate with a short stride and level bat path. Is a line drive style of hitter and has some rhythm in the swing with average bat speed with 81 exit velocity.

11/10/18

5-foot-10, 145-pound left-handed two-way prospect, athletic proportional build. Defensively, clean arm action, over-the-top slot, accurate with some carry. Plays through the ball, fluid footwork. Offensively, open setup, short stride, maintains good balance. Gap-to-gap type hitter, present bat speed. Ran a 7.40 60. On the mound, fastball worked 75-77. Curveball, 1/7 shape, 65-66.
