The Los Angeles Angels have added Endicott pitcher Brady Stuart on a minor league free agent contract, giving the standout right-hander a chance to begin his professional career after a dominant final college season.
Stuart, a Hudson graduate, built strong momentum this spring with Endicott and earned recognition as the consensus Division III National Pitcher of the Year. His performance helped power the program to the College World Series and put him on the radar for pro opportunities.
The 6-foot-2 righty now moves from a highly successful Division III run into the Angels organization, where he will look to carry over the form that made him one of the top small-college pitchers in the country. For players outside Division I, minor league free agent deals can provide a direct path to prove themselves in pro baseball.
For Stuart, the signing marks the next step after a breakout senior campaign and a memorable postseason push with Endicott. It also gives the Angels another pitching prospect with recent momentum and a track record of results at the college level.
