An undrafted free agent out of the University of Tampa in 2020, Brandon Knarr has a four pitch mix which includes increasing usage of his curveball. Knarr has learned to trust his pitches while attacking the zone with success. Knarr's coaches have praised his overall understanding of pitch design and sequencing, and they’ve commented on how it has benefitted the just turned 24 year old hurler. This includes Timber Rattlers manager Joe Ayrault who said, “He goes about his business and really works at his craft. He is one of our guys that really understands what we do, the analytic side of things, tracking movement on his pitches, different things in our system. He’s very knowledgeable. I think after his 10-year big league career, I think he’ll be a heck of a pitching coach because he knows his stuff.”
