Bray worked his fastball up to 95 mph in relief of starter Keith Bucktrot (Phillies), who, while he has been solid this fall, could not make it out of the first inning, giving up four runs on two hits.
In addition to a two-seam and four-seam fastball, which sits in the 91-94 range and touches 95, Bray also features a knockout, late-breaking slider and a changeup that is still in the early stages of development.
Family trash-talking aside, Bray is excited about being in an organization on the move to the nations capital.
Bray (sometimes Bray-on-Thames) is a village in Berkshire, on the banks of the River Thames.
Monkey Island, in the Thames, is associated with the 3rd Duke of Marlborough, and still houses two amusing structures that he built and furnished with paintings of monkeys.
Bray is home to The Fat Duck, which was adjudged the best restaurant in the world by Restaurant magazine in 2005.
