Career
Brault grew up as a fan of the San Diego Padres.[1] He graduated from Grossmont High School in El Cajon, California. As a senior at Grossmont, he compiled an 8–1 record and a 2.56 ERA along with batting .378.[2] He was undrafted out of high school.
Brault played college baseball at Regis University, where he majored in vocal performance. As a junior, he started 11 games and was 8–3 with a 2.63 ERA, striking out 103 and walking only 18 in 78.2 innings.[3] He was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 11th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft[4] and he signed.
After signing, Brault made his professional debut with the Aberdeen IronBirds and spent the remainder of 2013 there, going 1–2 with a 2.09 ERA in 12 starts. He spent 2014 with the Delmarva Shorebirds and Frederick Keys, compiling a combined 11–8 record and 2.77 ERA in 25 games (24 starts).
On February 20, 2015, Brault was sent from the Orioles to the Pittsburgh Pirates as the player to be named later from an earlier trade for Travis Snider.[5] He started his Pirates career with the Bradenton Marauders and was later promoted to the Altoona Curve.[6][7] In 28 starts between both clubs, Brault pitched to a 13–4 record, a 2.43 ERA, and a 1.12 WHIP. He began 2016 with the Indianapolis Indians.
The Pirates promoted Brault to the major leagues to make his debut on July 5, 2016,[8] at Busch Stadium against the St. Louis Cardinals. He pitched four innings in which he gave up two runs (one earned) while walking two and striking out five as Pittsburgh defeated St. Louis 5–2.[9] He was optioned back to Indianapolis the next day. Brault was recalled and optioned multiple times during the season, with his final call-up of the year being September 2. In 16 games (15 starts) for the Indians, he was 2–7 with a 3.91 ERA, and in eight games (seven starts) for Pittsburgh, he was 0–3 with a 4.86 ERA. Brault began 2017 with Indianapolis. He was recalled twice before he was called up for the remainder of the season on August 22. In 21 starts for the Indians, he pitched to a 10–5 record and 1.94 ERA,[10] and in 11 games (four starts) for the Pirates, he was 1–0 with a 4.67 ERA.
Brault began 2018 in Pittsburgh's bullpen but was moved into the starting rotation because of an injury to Joe Musgrove.[11] However, after compiling a 5.54 ERA through five starts, he was moved into the bullpen.[12] He ended the season with an ERA of 4.61 in 45 games (5 starts). He struck out 82 in 91 2⁄3 innings.
On June 19, 2018, Brault sang the National Anthem at PNC Park before the Pirates' next matchup against the Milwaukee Brewers. He had sung the National Anthem before games in the minor leagues, and also participated in theater and choir programs in his childhood.[13]
Personal
At Regis University, Brault majored in music performance with a vocal performance emphasis.[14] While not playing baseball, he is the lead singer of "Street Gypsies," a band based out of his hometown of San Diego.[15] He also runs a podcast with fellow Pirate Trevor Williams called "IMHO" in which they will have usually another Pirate and rank subjects outside of baseball.
