| Summary: Brunson is a physical outfielder with a compact stroke and reliable barrel control. He works a line-drive approach to all fields, flashing pull-side power with exit velocities north of 110 mph. The bat plays on contact quality more than pure impact now, but he makes consistent passes through the zone and rarely whiffs. He handles fastballs well, though he can get long against velocity on the inner third. With continued strength gains, the gap-to-gap game should evolve into steady corner power. Defensively, Brunson has spent time in center field and shows solid reads and instincts, but his frame and arm strength fit more naturally in right long term. He moves well enough to remain reliable in the outfield, and the bat-to-ball skills give him a chance to profile as an everyday contributor. Drafted by Toronto in 2023 but unsigned, Brunson now offers a more polished, steady all-around profile with the bat continuing to drive his value. | |||||||||||
