06/25/2021 - Baseball Factory All-State Tournament (MS) AJ continues to shine on the diamond. At the plate, he continues to show as a switch hitter with similar abilities from both sides. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He makes consistent hard contact and stays inside the ball through a line drive approach. Behind the plate, feet are active as he works in line through a clean transfer/exchange. Pop times showed in the 2.64 range and will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. He shows a squared setup and presents a soft mitt out front and utilizes his body through the blocking process but needs to work to get body down sooner.

Academic All-American Tournament (MS) AJ continued to show improvements in his baseball abilities at the Academic All-American tournament. At the plate is where he has improved the most through an open setup. He continues to show as a switch hitter and has improved hitting/power potential from both sides. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach, flashing gap to gap pop. Behind the plate he shows a squared setup and tracks the ball well with a soft glove. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. Pop times showed in the 2.40 range. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and works to get rid of the ball quicker.

12/29/2020 - All-In Membership - Marlborough (Boston), MA AJ is a 3B/C prospect who will graduate in 2025. In the field, AJ gets into an athletic position and fields the ball out in front of his body. His exchange is clean and he gains ground well on his throws, keeping them accurate and on-line to his target. Long tossing can help AJ build up his arm strength. Behind the plate, AJ shows active footwork and covers up well when blocking. He sits in a square stance and presents a good target to the pitcher. His exchange is clean and he works to make accurate throws to the 2B bag. AJ can improve his overall catching ability by sitting in a lower stance. At the plate, this switch hitter sets up in an athletic stance and takes a square stride. He is smooth to load and drives through well with his lower half. He stays short through the ball and produces consistent contact. Engaging his lower half more can help AJ generate more pop off the barrel. Overall, AJ is a solid prospect who has the time and potential to further build upon his skills on the field.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
