Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • C/3BPosition Projection

12/27/2009 - Christmas Camp and Tournament #2 Eric showed good baseball instincts during his time at Pirate City and currently projects better behind the plate. He is a player with high energy, who blocks and receives the baseball well. He made the routine plays at 3B, but will need to soften his hands, get down earlier, and bend at the knees for defense to further improve at 3B. Eric can improve behind the plate by refining his transfer and keeps his elbow higher when attempting to throw out runners. Offensively, Eric has good balance and decent bat speed. He has a short, compact swing, and can hit to all fields. Eric is a patient hitter who know the strike zone and works the count into his favor. Eric's offensive numbers can further improve if he can let the baseball travel further, and work to hit earlier in the count.

08/22/2009 - College PREP - Purchase, NY Eric is a two-way player as a catcher and 3B with a lean body that shows projection as he continues to physically mature. Foot speed is below average and he needs to get on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness. Feet are active and aggressive in coming to get and playing through ground balls at 3B. Glove action is soft, clean, and sure in making all the plays. Defensive abilities are solid average at 3B. Behind the plate, feet gain ground and throws are in line with good direction to his target. His throws are accurate showing a range of 2.17 - 2.47 with his pop times. Arm strength is average and he would benefit by getting on a long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength, and thus lowering pop times. Receiving skills are above average through a low solid setup, allowing his hands to work around the baseball softly. Blocking skills currently rate out at average. At the plate, hitting abilities and power are slightly above average through a solid and balanced setup. Swing path is level, flashing bat speed. Power numbers will increase as he learns to utilize his lower half more efficiently through the swing. Eric has abilities with a lot of room to improve.

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).
