  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Undersized, stocky frame. Filled out, no remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, starting on the third base side of the rubber. Medium to high leg kick. Compact and quick delivery with the upper body, gets good north-south extension. Intense, bulldog mentality.

Fastball: 91-94 mph. Tops out at 95. Topped out at 97 mph in college. Solid-average pitch has some life and backspin to it. Solid command - keeps the ball in the zone, likes to work in the upper half.

Slider: 88-91 mph. Solid-average pitch,. Short, more horizontal shape. Has shown the ability to bury down and out of the zone to right-handed hitters. Misses bats.

Curveball: 79-82 mph. Vertical shape. Has depth and tight rotation. Currently a fringe-average pitch that he does not utilize a lot.
  Career Notes: Son of professional bowler Danny Broadway. Did not receive any college offers out of high school. Won the D-III NJCAA World Series at Tyler Junior College, taking home Player of the Year and World Series MVP honors as a two-way player. Served as Mississippi's closer in 2021. Received a non-roster invitation to MLB spring training in 2023. Had Tommy John surgery in October 2023.

Summation: Intriguing arm with a power three-pitch mix that could profile in a major league bullpen role. Has shown premium bat-missing ability, but also been hit very hard. Developing consistency is key for him to reach his potential.
