01/13/2023 - 2023 Baseball Factory Rookie Pre-Season All-America Tournament AJ is a 2026 OF who showcased his skills at the BF Rookie PSAA Tournament. In the OF, he tracks the ball well and works through the baseball. He has a clean arm stroke in back, with 3/4 release point coming forward, and an arm velocity up to 69mph. At the plate, he hits from an athletic and relaxed stance with low hands. A quiet head and level eyes enable him to track pitches well. Does a good job of keeping his hands inside the baseball as he hit balls to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 71mph. During the games, he reached base 3 times with 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch. With 3 years of continued growth and development, we foresee AJ making huge strides on the baseball diamond.

2022 Academic All-American Tournament (MS) AJ is an OF/RHP prospect who showed well during the Academic All-American Tournament. In the field, AJ shows fluid footwork and is agile covering ground. He gets into an athletic position and fields the ball out in front with soft hands. His exchange is clean and he gets rid of the ball quickly, making accurate throws with carry through his target. At the plate, this RHH displays smooth rhythm and leads well with his lower half. He works through a level swing with plus bat speed, producing strong contact. On the mound, AJ gathers over the rubber and takes a proper stride. He extends through his release and finishes square to the plate. AJ operates with a two pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 66mph. Breaking ball sits from 54-56mph with 11-5 break.

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).
