  • Class Rating
  • 1B/3BPosition Projection

06/17/2017 - Omaha National World Series - Session 1 (Ages 14-18) Colbey is a hardworking 1B/3B prospect who has a strong, projectable build. As a right-handed hitter, Colbey has a square stance with a firm front side and centered balance. He has smooth rhythm with an open stride and tracks the ball well. Colbey has a direct, on-plane swing path producing consistent contact. He engages his hips and has the power to drive the ball to each gap. In the field, Colbey plays with active footwork and an aggressive approach attacking the baseball. He fields the ball in a square position and receives the ball with soft hands. Colbey throws from a high 3/4 arm slot and shows consistently accurate throws across the diamond. Overall, Colbey is a well-rounded prospect who has a good approach to the game and talent to take his game to the next level.

11/06/2016 - College PREP - Vinton (Roanoke), VA Colbey continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. At 1B, defensive abilities have improved, displaying smooth/clean actions. He displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Hands are soft/clean and he presents well out front. Range will improve as he continues to increase foot quickness.

On the mound, arm strength has improved, as he threw his top velocity to date, topping out at 69 mph. Fastball showed a range of 65-69 mph with tailing action. Breaking ball displays a 11/5 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup but needs to develop more movement on pitch. Building more arm strength through a long toss program will aid in further development on the mound.

12/12/2015 - Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (Ages 14-18) Colbey starts from a balanced set up and works through a leg kick to trigger the lower half as the hands activate into a solid launch position. Colbey's swing path remains direct and compact as the hands attack the inside part of the baseball which allows for extension through the zone at contact. Colbey's approach allows him to hit the ball where it is pitched and use the whole field properly. A 2018 grad, Colbey shows that he has an idea at the plate and will benefit from focusing on a training program to increase his explosiveness and athleticism.

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).
