07/27/2018 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 1 (Ages 14-18) Benjamin's improvement on the field has been eye opening as he continues to get better in all areas and shows an excellent feel for the game. His raw power is hard to miss and he puts it to use with the ability to hit for extra bases and hit the ball on the screws consistently. He is smooth in the box to load and launch with a strong lower half that generates a fast bat through the zone. He gets on plane early and keeps the barrel through the zone to make hard, line drive contact to all fields. In the outfield, he has the feel and tools to play all three positions with the range to track balls down and the arm to make strong throws. He works behind the ball and is athletic to field with a quick exchange and release to show off his big arm.

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).
