02/14/2021 - All-In Membership - East Hampton (Hartford), CT Darren is a 2022 2-way prospect that covers the outfield when not pitching on the mound. He uses his active feet to gain ground downhill in the outfield. He presents his hands out front and has a clean exchange. He shows his ability to throw out runners with on-line and accurate throws. At the plate, he shows a good setup that starts slightly open but gets square after his stride. With his good load and smooth timing he uses his fast hands in a direct path to the ball resulting in consistent line drives. On the mound, a quiet gather step helps set him up for on time separation which is the beginning of his very clean delivery. His fastball shows slight cutting action while his curveball flashes big break and can be used as an out pitch. Darren continues to work hard and improve both his baseball and athletic ability. He has upside in this only his junior season.

07/15/2019 - Cape Cod Select Training & Competition (Ages 14-18) Darren continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. At 3B, defensive abilities have improved as he displays smooth actions. Feet are aggressive as he attacks balls and squares up well with his body. Hands are clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At the plate, hands are loose and work through a level swing path. He works to keep hands inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will continue to improve as he works to utilize his lower half more aggressively. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 58-60 mph. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup but needs to develop more movement on pitch. Control is solid as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Getting on a long toss program to develop more arm strength will aid in improving abilities on the mound.

11/03/2018 - Mid-Atlantic Regional Pitching and Catching Weekend (Ages 14-18) Darren is an athletic and talented pitching prospect that made several adjustments throughout the Mid Atlantic Regional Pitching and Catching Weekend. On the bump, Darren gathers over the rubber, separates on time, and has a controlled landing. He needs to continue to have a loose arm action and work over the front side. He keeps his eyes on his target and rotates his hips toward the plate. Continuing to work north to south and riding his back leg toward the plate will help him pound the bottom part of the strike zone. He has good movement on the fastball but developing a secondary pitch such as a changeup will allow him to work off the fastball more efficiently. Darren is very coachable and a hard worker. He will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.

10/13/2018 - Mid-Atlantic Regional Hitting Weekend (Ages 14-18) Darren is a talented prospect that worked hard and made several adjustments during the Mid-Atlantic Hitting Camp. Darren starts in a squared stance, has loose hands, and good pre-pitch rhythm. He loads his hands back into the drive position, gets his front foot down on time, and creates backside rotation in his lower half. He's a line drive hitter and keeps a middle approach. Darren needs to continue to keep a quiet head and attacking the inside part of the ball. That will help him to stay balanced throughout contact. Darren will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.

10/07/2017 - FDI Pitching and Catching Accelerated Training Weekend (12-14) Darren is a RHP prospect who worked hard on his skills during his time at the FDI Pitching and Catching Accelerated Training Weekend. On the mound, this righty gets into a good rhythm and works to control all of his pitches in the zone. He shows a four pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 63mph with good sinking action. Curveball ranges from 49-53mph with 10-4 break. Knuckleball sits from 50-51mph. Slider ranges from 50-51mph. Darren can improve as a pitcher by separating his hands earlier in his motion and by loosening his arm action. With five more years to develop, Darren has the time and potential to further progress his skills on the mound.

09/23/2017 - FDI Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend (12-14) Darren is a young player who worked on his hitting skills during his time at the Hitting Accelerated Training Weekend. At the plate, this RHH sets up in an athletic stance and works to barrel up the baseball. He finishes with a firm front side in his lower half and produces solid contact. Darren can improve as a hitter by driving his lower half through the zone. With five more years to develop, Darren has the time and potential to further progress his skills at the plate.

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).
