Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OFPosition Projection

03/20/2022 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Greensboro, NC Clay raised arm strength, lowered 60 time, and showed a spike in hitting during his last workout in Greensboro. In the OF, Clay has active feet, he covers ground, and takes good angles to the ball. He tracks well, makes plays, and throws with a quick arm action to his cut off man. Abilities in the OF will improve if Clay can field further out in front and improve throwing accuracy. Offensively, Clay has an open stance, good balance, and fast bat speed. He has a level swing path, a short/direct barrel, and he makes level/consistent contact. Improved hitting can get better with work on rhythm and more lower body.

05/31/2020 - All-In Membership - Greenville, SC Clay is a tall, solid OF who has a promising future on the diamond. In the OF, he displays clean actions. He utilizes his feet well in his lateral movement in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. Glove action is clean and presents well out front. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine displaying solid hitting / power potential through an open setup. Hands are quick and work to and through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. With 3 years to further develop, Clay has a lot of potential and will get looks from the collegiate coaches as he continues to progress his game.

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).
