07/20/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Stockton (Sacramento), CA Griffin is a talented catching prospect who continues to progress. Behind the dish, he sits in with flexion and athletic actions tracking pitches into a soft mitt. He is quick laterally to center/deaden pitches in the dirt off of his chest, keeping the ball close in front. Throws to 2B are on the bag coming from a quick/clean transfer exchange - pop times remain in the low 2's. As a hitter, he shows a balanced stance with active/loose hands. He fires the barrel with + bat speed, connects and sprays the ball to all parts of the park. DeRusso is a skilled catcher who is one to keep an eye on over the next couple of years. He will make an impact in this only his sophomore year.

01/18/2019 - 2019 Baseball Factory All-America Pre-Season Rookie Tournament Griffin is an athletic and talented 2023 catching prospect with high energy. Behind the dish, Griffin has an athletic secondary stance and presents a low target. When receiving, he tracks the ball into this glove and works the ball back into the zone. When throwing, Griffin replaces his feet and makes accurate throws. At the plate, Griffin starts in a tall stance, loads his hands back, and gets his front foot down on time. He gets the backside through, controls the barrel, and makes hard contact to app fields. Griffin is a hard worker and we hope to see his progress in the future.

12/04/2016 - Interactive Video Program - Sacramento, CA Griffin is an athletic 3B/C. At 3B, he takes aggressive routes on GB's and works into a square fielding position. He fields the ball with soft hands as he gets rid of the ball with a clean exchange. Behind the plate, he displays a square/solid setup. He moves well laterally as he comes up with a quick release on his throws down to 2B. With the bat, Griffin presents an athletic setup in the box. He creates leverage in his swing as he drives pitches on a line. Overall abilities in his game will improve with work on the following.

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).
