  • CPosition Projection

03/12/2023 - National Showcase - Glendale (Phoenix), AZ Dillon is a 2026 C prospect from Phoenix, AZ. Behind the plate, he shows off active feet and gives a good target to his pitchers. He throws from a high 3/4 arm slot and makes accurate throws with momentum towards his target. He does a good job of blocking and tucking his chin and keeping his head down on balls in the dirt. His glove gets in a good position to block balls that could scoot under him. At the plate, he features a crouched stance with an on-time stride. His lower half leads and he has a nice on-plane swing path. He squares the ball up consistently and sprays line drives to all parts of the field. He works hard to keep his weight back. He is a hard worker and very coachable on the baseball field!

Throws from a high 3/4 arm slot with an arm velocity of 61mph and a best pop time of 3.5 seconds. A right-handed hitter, he starts with an upright and open stance.

Behind the plate, Dillon tracks the ball into his glove and works to make accurate throws to the 2B bag. Sitting in a more athletic stance can help Dillon improve his overall catching ability. At the plate, this RHH sets up in an open stance and takes a short stride. He is controlled getting into a small load and hits against a strong front side. He works to barrel up the baseball and produces solid line drives. Dillon can barrel up more baseballs by getting more extension through his swing. With six more years to develop, Dillon has the time and potential to further build upon his skills on the field.

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).
