Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Brandon Petrick broke into the limelight with a banner 2025 season, establishing himself as the Scarlet Raptors’ right fielder while displaying a potent left-handed bat, great outfield range and a rifle arm. In two seasons at Rutgers-Camden, Petrick has started 41 of his 52 games, while hitting .307 with a .417 slugging percentage, 103 putouts and seven outfield assists. His arm earned so much respect that opponents stopped taking chances to run on him.
