Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • CPosition Projection

12/27/2016 - Under Armour Baseball Factory Recruiting Classic Devin is a strong, athletic catcher who has a promising future behind the plate. Foot speed is well above average as indicated by his 60 time of 7.13. At the plate is where he shows best, displaying outstanding hitting abilities with tremendous power potential through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (89 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive approach. He works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap-to-gap pop. The baseball comes off his bat a little differently. Behind the plate, feet are aggressive and active as he works in line to his target, through a clean transfer / exchange. Pop times show in the 1.95 range with accuracy and on line carry to his throws. He will control the running game at the next level with his feet / arm. Receiving / blocking skills show as outstanding tools that will play well at the next level. He displays an athletic setup with soft hands that stick balls in the zone. Athletic abilities are shown off through the blocking process as he uses his body well and is a wall behind the plate. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable, makes adjustments and is a solid team player. Devin has the makings of a special type player and will get looks from the top collegiate coaches and pro scouts with his baseball abilities.

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).
