Padres pitching prospect Braden Nett takes the loss in Arizona Fall League's Fall-Stars Game
Braden Nett did not have a great Sunday evening. That should not sully his stay so far in the Arizona Fall League as a breakout. The 21-year-old right-hander coughed up two runs in his inning of work in the Fall Stars Game in the NL’s 6-3 loss to the AL on Sunday in Sloan Park in Mesa, Ariz. Nett struck out a batter but he walked one, uncorked a wild pitch and allowed two hits while throwing 12 of his 20 pitches for strikes in taking the loss.
Scouts have also been buzzing about a 70-grade fastball that touches 99 mph, a power breaking ball developing into an out-pitch and an improving changeup. “It’s a young guy who hasn’t pitched a ton,” Padres assistant farm director Mike Daly said last month. “The fastball is electric. It’s a very good change-up and a good sweeper. … We’re very excited about Braden. He’s grown up a lot in a little more than a year for us.
