A milestone signing
Brady Stuart, a 6‑foot‑2 right‑handed pitcher from Hudson, Massachusetts, has agreed to a minor‑league contract with the Los Angeles Angels. The deal will see him report to the Arizona Complex League, the Angels’ developmental hub in Tempe, Arizona, where he will begin his professional journey.
Stuart capped his senior season at Endicott College with a career‑best nine wins, a 1.81 earned run average and 103 strikeouts across 19 appearances, earning the prestigious title of Division III National Pitcher of the Year. His performance solidified his reputation as one of the most dominant collegiate pitchers of the year.
Endicott’s recent dominance
Endicott College reached the Division III College World Series for the fourth consecutive year, underscoring the program’s sustained excellence. Stuart joins a select group of alumni who have signed professional contracts, following Jordan Gottesman’s 2025 agreement with the Giants, Caleb Shpur’s placement in the Detroit Tigers system, and Ryan Gerety’s recent deal with the San Diego Padres.
Local analysts say the string of signings reflects a fertile recruiting and development pipeline in the Hudson‑Massachusetts region, with Stuart’s contract serving as the latest illustration of the area’s growing influence on the sport.
