The Cleveland Guardian have selected <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/oklahoma-state-cowboys/">Oklahoma State</a> pitcher commit Braylon Doughty in the 2024 MLB Draft. He will now have to make the decision on whether to begin his pro career now or continue to college. 



The right hander just wrapped up his senior season playing for Chaparral (CA) High School. He was named the Southwestern League MVP after helping the Pumas reach the playoffs this past year.

Doughty posted a 1.11 ERA for the season with a 4-3 record <a href="https://www.maxpreps.com/ca/temecula/chaparral-pumas/athletes/braylon-doughty/baseball/stats/?careerid=68i00apd85v77&sportSeasonId=76954902-6d31-4d59-b6f4-dbdf36f35ff5">according to MaxPreps</a>. He is ranked as the No. 36 prospect in the draft according to MLB Pipeline and No. 49 overall according to Baseball America. 



The 18-year-old reportedly has a fastball that reached above 95 mph and will be an interesting prospect to develop if he decides to jump straight to the MLB. He caught the attention of scouts over last summer and continued to impress this spring. 



If Doughty opts to still go to college, he will join an Oklahoma State team that went 42-19 this past season. He would have to play three seasons before he would next become eligible for the MLB Draft in 2027.

MLB.com offered some analysis on Doughty’s game in a scouting report on <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/draft/braylon-doughty-815785">his player profile</a>. They noted that while he doesn’t possess the size that some other pitcher prospects do, he more than makes up for it with his strength. 



“While Doughty isn’t all that big at 6-foot-1, he is compact, strong and extremely athletic on the mound,” the report read. “He has a quick arm that fires fastballs up to 96-97 mph with life and solid command. He misses bats with it and even more so with his power low-80s curve, that tops 3,000 rpm and features tight break. He has an 83-85 mph slider with two-plane late lateral movement, and some think both breaking pitches could be plus in time. He has some feel for a changeup, but he doesn’t throw it much.



“Doughty’s athleticism helps him find the strike zone very consistently, especially given his power repertoire. Those who were around him at the Area Code Games also saw plus makeup, a kid who was a sponge for pitching knowledge, something he would take to Oklahoma State should the Draft not go his way. Since he’s come out and shown he can dominate like he did late last summer, he may never make it to campus, with his name coming up in early-round discussions.”
