"The 33-year old was taken No. 7 overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2011 MLB Draft. Most scouts presumed Bradley to become an elite starting pitcher out of his native Oklahoma. Instead, Bradley morphed into a very credible reliever over the course of what was a nine-year career. He featured mostly for Arizona - though his time in the big leagues also included stops with the Los Angeles Angels, Philadelphia Phillies, Cincinnati Reds, and the Miami Marlins."
""[Shohei Ohtani is the] greatest player to ever walk the Earth. No disrespect to Babe Ruth, I'm not here to get into long-winded arguments, but it's Ohtani and everyone else in my opinion, especially when you see it day to day." Bradley is specifically referencing the one-year stint he had with the Halos back in 2022. For context, Bradley watched Ohtani up close and personal as the slugger clubbed 34 homers. He accrued 95 runs batted in, and for good measure, Ohtani also led the team with 15 victories on the mound while sporting a 2.33 ERA."
