Braddock overcoming physical, mental hurdles Adam McCalvy Brewers pitching prospect Zach Braddock has been healthy this season, both in body and mind, and some promising results have followed. The Brewers promoted Braddock to Double-A Huntsville on Wednesday after the left-hander posted a 1.14 ERA and 40 strikeouts versus just four walks in 14 relief appearances at Class A Brevard County. Opponents hit .143 against the hard-throwing Braddock. Braddock has been limited by physical injuries since the Brewers drafted him in the 18th round of the 2005 Draft and by a bipolar disorder that requires medication. But in terms of pure "stuff," he's a bona fide Major League prospect. "He can dominate," Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash said. "There have been a number of reports this year [that say] he could pitch in the big leagues. He has that kind of dominating stuff. Obviously, being left-handed helps. It's a matter of being consistent, like it is with a lot of young guys." Assuming he stays physically and mentally healthy, Braddock could move fast through the system. He turns 22 on Aug. 23. "Which is why we moved him to Double-A, to get him to that next level," Ash said. Club officials help "monitor" Braddock, Ash said. That involves making sure he takes the proper medication at the proper time. "He's in a very good spot," Ash said. "He's monitored, and he's had no issues at all. ... He's in a good place."
