06/02/2018 - 2018 Under Armour Showcase: Baseball Factory's National West This athletic MIF shows a tremendous future on the diamond. A RHH, hands are quick as he squares the ball up consistently driving it on a line. He has strength in his swing with gap-to-gap pop. Defensively, he takes a quick first step and has plus lateral range. He creates angles around the GB with fluid actions. DP turns are quick with zip on his throws (88 mph velocity). Defensive abilities are near a pro level as he shows big play potential. J.J. has a ton of upside and possesses the skill-set that will play at a very high level.

10/28/2017 - 2017 Under Armour Showcase: Baseball Factory's Futures West JJ is a dynamic young prospect with an exciting skill set that includes an advanced LH bat. At the plate JJ has a loose, easy LH stroke from a relaxed and balanced approach. He has excellent "hitting hands" delivering the barrel consistently and handling pitches in all parts of the strike zone. He uses the entire field well and the ball comes off his bat with surprising pop wherever it is hit. JJ put together several quality in-game at bats, going 2-3. In the IF JJ has good natural actions, taking good angles and and displaying sure hands. He finishes plays with a strong, accurate arm across the diamond and looks to be able to stay in the middle of the field at higher levels. Overall, this is a high-ceiling player with an impact bat who should be followed closely.

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).
