11/05/2015 - Baseball Factory Select Training & Competition in Arizona Brooks is a big, tall LHP/1B that will graduate in 2017. At the plate is where he shows best through a soft, athletic setup. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed and work through a level swing path. He works to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. He shows a feel for the barrel, flashing gap to gap pop. Power numbers will improve as he learns to use his lower half more. At 1B, he displays proper footwork around the bag and is a big, quality receiver. Hands are soft / sure as he makes the routine plays. For defensive grade to continue to improve, he needs to attack balls more, play through, while presenting hands more out front and increase foot quickness. On the mound, fastball shows a range of 72-73 mph. Stock on the mound will continue to increase as he builds more arm strength, works to throw more strikes, and develops off speed pitches. Mental makeup is a plus as he is a hard worker, is very coachable, and has great attitude. With 2 years to further develop, Brooks has abilities with time and room to improve.

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).
