Brenden Pinney '24 Recruiting Profile

Baseball to me is something that has always and will always be in my life. I’ve been playing since I was 5 years old and I’ve always kept baseball in my life since then. I first learned how to pitch when I was around 9 or 10 years old and it’s taken off from there. 

I plan to go to college as a left handed pitcher but I’m also flexible for any other plans that the collegiate level has in store for me. I’m now a 2024 left handed pitcher and first baseman for my varsity team at Nevada Union High School in Grass Valley California. 

As of right now I'm entering my junior year at Nevada Union High School and I stand at 6 feet 1 inch and 180 lbs. The different pitches that I’m currently throwing right now are a 4-seam fastball, a curveball, a change up, and a slider. My fastball right now sits at 75-81 and top 83. 

My GPA has been sitting consistently around a 3.8-3.9 these past two years of high school and going into this next school year I will be taking some honors and AP classes.

The biggest qualities about me that I can take to the collegiate level is my ability to listen and take advice from anyone because I love learning new things, my high energy and my 100% effort to come out to practices, workouts, and games everyday and give it all that I got every single day, and my hunger to become the best pitcher that I can be and win day in and day out. 

I plan to attend a 4 year university after high school and somewhere that I can truly call home and have fun at for the next 4 years after high school. I truly want to go to a school where the coaching staff, and all the staff behind the scenes is a very strong community type feel to the baseball program. 

I’m looking for a school that takes the training and weight room very seriously. I’d like a school that has all their pitchers on a training and throwing schedule that is centered around the game schedules during the spring season and a very good off season training system/program too. I’ve always taken the weight room very seriously and I really want wherever I go after high school to take the training very seriously for its baseball program also.
