Archie Bradley

Archie Bradley (born August 10, 1992) is a high school baseball player at Broken Arrow Senior High in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
He was drafted seventh overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft.
After transferring from Muskogee High School to Broken Arrow High School before his junior year, Bradley quickly became the starting quarterback on the school's varsity football team and a starting pitcher for the baseball team. After his junior year, Bradley was named to the 2010 Aflac All-American Baseball Classic roster. In 2011, during his senior season, he led the team to a 36-2 record and its first 6A State Championship since 1991. In the championship game against the Rams of Owasso High School, Bradley struck out 14 batters and allowed just two hits over seven innings in a 4-0 win. He finished his senior season with a 12-1 record, allowing just three earned runs in 71 1/3 innings, walking 11 batters and striking out 133.
Prospect status
Bradley was expected to be drafted in the first round of the 2011 draft. He committed to play both, football and baseball, at the University of Oklahoma, but, due to his high draft status, will most likely sign a professional baseball contract. ESPN baseball insider, Keith Law, ranks Bradley as the number nine prospect in the 2011 draft. Archie was selected as the 7th Overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft to the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Scouting report
Bradley is a 6'4", 225 lb. right-handed pitcher who features a slight 3/4 arm angle with a 2-seam fastball in the 92-95 mph range, a 4-seam fastball occasionally elevating to 98-99 mph, and 82-83 mph 12-6 curveball, and a developing change up.
