Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 2B/RHPPosition Projection

05/23/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Sauget (St. Louis), IL Aidan is a class of 2022 2B/RHP. In the field, he shows athletic feet and the ability to cover a wide range. Does a good job getting the ball out of his glove and creating momentum to throw. Works his eyes behind the baseball on backhands. At the plate, he starts in a quiet set up and does a good job staying balanced throughout the swing. He shows a short hand path to the baseball. Line drive approach to all parts of the field. On the mound, he shows the ability to throw 3 pitches for strikes. Fastball showed tailing action and was up to 75 MPH. Changeup was best pitch with sinking action at 60-62 MPH. Delivered all pitches from a ¾ arm slot. Aidan is a well rounded player that we hope to see again in the future.

08/23/2020 - All-In Membership - Nashville, TN Aidan is a R/R 2-way player as a (2B/RHP) who graduates in 2022. With the bat, this righty displays a square/athletic stance with centered balance. He has rhythm to load and waits for a pitch he likes. Swing is quick through a short/direct path as he connects and creates good extension through contact. More power is in the tank as he works to engage and drive his full lower 1/2 throughout the swing. At 2B, he shows quick/active prep and works into a low/athletic fielding position. Hands are soft as he funnels to a smooth transfer to throw. On the mound, this RHP has a 4-pitch mix coming from a high 3/4 arm slot and clean/free arm action. He maintains quick tempo, works to a controlled balance point and has smooth separation. FB shows arm-side run ranging from 70-72 mph. Curveball shows 10/4 shape with good action as he throws it for strikes consistently. Slider has similar action to CB - 61-62 mph. He has a good feel for his CH as it shows sinking action and will get GB outs. More glove side lead and lower 1/2 drive off of the rubber will help to get even more into his FB. Karsten is a skilled 2-way prospect who has upside on the diamond as he enters his junior year.

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).
