10/30/2016 - College PREP - Corpus Christi, TX Garrett continues to show improvements in his baseball skills with a bright future ahead of him on the diamond. He is already an excellent defensive catcher, especially in his blocking ability, turning himself into a wall behind the plate. He shows off athleticism at the position with lateral agility that allows him to get down easily and smother the ball, while also showing the footwork to catch and throw quickly to bases. He is quiet back there and funnels the ball to the center of his body to receive, presenting strikes to the umpire. At first, his feet work well, moving aggressively to field ground balls with his hands presented. He has range to his glove side and a quick release to throw, turning good double plays. He is a gap to gap hitter with a short path to the ball, making consistent, square contact. He gets good separation with his hands and has a powerful bat angle, extending his arms through contact to finish. Garrett is an exciting, young prospect with lots of potential 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).
