Talented sophomore who came on strong down the stretch for the Cowboys as a freshman. Expected to push for a weekend rotation spot and will also see time out of the bullpen. 2004: Went four and a third scoreless innings in a win over Schreiner. Also threw one inning with two strikeouts with runners in scoring position against Schreiner in another game in that series. Finished the season with a 1-1 record and a 13.45 ERA, that was inflated by giving up eight runs against Southwestern in his first career start. Pitched well in all of his other outings. Personal: Was a first-team all-district selection at shortstop and also the pitcher of the year in his district at Springtown High School. Son of Phillip and Darlene Brandt. Has a brother, Jason. Undeclared major. Born May 30, 1985.
