Official Scouting Report

Class Rating
OFPosition Projection

08/14/2018 - College PREP - Trenton, NJ Desmond is a tall, strong, OF with good skills. Defensively, Desmond has active feet, agile movements, and he fields low and athletically. He presents his glove well, has athletic actions, and a clean exchange with accuracy and consistency to his target. Getting rid of the ball quicker and adding arm strength will help defensive skills get better. At the plate, Desmond has an athletic set-up, he loads well, and swings aggressively. He swings on plane, has some bat speed, and he uses his lower body. If Desmond can shorten up his swing, and work on timing, hitting numbers can spike.

Class Rating

Assigned to: "Rising Seniors". For the purposes of this scale, a player is designated a "Rising Senior" on January 1 of the year they will become a senior. Example: 2019 graduate becomes a "Rising Senior" 1/1/2018

Purposes:To show the level(s) at which the player has potential to be recruited, and show how the player rates against other "Rising Seniors".

Scale Numbers 1 – 10. Top = 1, Bottom = 10

This rating is based only on our evaluation of the baseball player. There are many other factors that influence the recruiting process, our scale does not account for them since they are specific to each individual school.

player academics (GPA, boards)
school recruiting budget, available money
school academic requirements
type of player(s) school likes and recruits
school recruiting needs
in state vs. out of state players

The Class Rating is not designed to express the scholarship potential of a player to a certain level or school, only the schools and coaches can determine that using the factors above along with their evaluation of the player.

The Class Rating is designed to help players identify the level(s) of college baseball at which they have potential to be recruited, and to help schools and coaches identify players that have potential to be recruits for them.

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 (tools), 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, using the scale below. However, grades 10-18 are not available for use with High School players (ages 14-18), while grades 55-70 are not available for use with Pre High School players (ages 12-14). These instances are marked as "--- N/A ---" in the "Description" fields below.
