12/02/2018 - College PREP - Sacramento, CA AJ is an athletic 2B/RHP prospect who will graduate in 2021. In the field, AJ flashes good range to his glove side and makes the routine plays. He throws from a high 3/4 angle and keeps his throws on-line to his target. Getting into a more athletic fielding position can help AJ improve defensively. At the plate, this RHH sets up in an open stance and is fluid getting into his load. He takes a direct swing and hits from a strong front side, leading to consistent contact to all fields. AJ can improve as a hitter by taking a shorter stride. On the mound, AJ gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He extends through well on his release and stays inline towards the plate. AJ shows a two pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 75mph with tailing action. Changeup sits from 63-67mph with arm side run as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Loosening his arm action can help AJ improve as a pitcher. Overall, AJ is a solid prospect who has the potential to further develop 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 (tools), 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, using the scale below. However, grades 10-18 are not available for use with High School players (ages 14-18), while grades 55-70 are not available for use with Pre High School players (ages 12-14). These instances are marked as "--- N/A ---" in the "Description" fields below.
