At the plate, Garrett starts in an open stance and keeps his hands in a low, attack, position. In game, Garrett has a middle approach and went 2-6. He gets his front foot down on time, gets the barrel flat to the ball, and stays balanced through contact. On the bump, Garrett commands his fastball and isn't afraid to pitch inside. He gathers over the rubber, separates on time, and does a tremendous job of riding his back leg toward the plate. He has a strong glove side and works north to south in his delivery.

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).
