04/30/2023 - National Showcase - Fairfield (Sacramento), CA Jackie is a strong and lean 1B/RHP in the 2023 class. In the field, he shows quick and agile movements. Gains a low fielding position and his pocket has feel. Shows advanced bag awareness and is a strong target for his defenders. His exchanges are quick and is athletic with numerous arm slots. Arm plays at 87 and is accurate. On the mound, he has solid mechanics and poise. He operates with a 3-pitch mix from a ¾ arm slot. His Fb touched 82 with arm side run. His CB sat 61-2 with 10-4 shape in the zone. His CH had run with deception at 67-9. At the plate, he creates hard contact (88 exit velo) and can use the whole field. Bat speed is explosive and his swing is short and quick to the baseball. Overall, Jackie has great tools and will help a college program in the future.

07/22/2018 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 2 (Ages 12-14) Jackie is an athletic and talented 2023 2-way prospect that was very coachable and made several adjustments throughout the week at Pirate City. At 1B, Jackie is on time with his prep step, he presents a low/early glove, and fields the ball in front of his body. He communicates well on pop ups, has proper footwork on relays, and works well off the ball. Continuing to practice game like throws in his throwing program will increase his ability to throw from multiple arm angles and on the run. At the plate, Jackie starts in an open stance, loads his hands back into the drive position, and stays balanced through contact. He has a solid 2 strike approach and barrels the ball consistently. He needs to continue to attack the inside part of the ball and create backside rotation. On the bump, Jackie gathers over the rubber, separates on time, and extends thru his delivery. He has good direction and works north to south. He sits 69-71 with his fastball but needs to be more consistent down in the zone. He throws a 10-4 breaking ball but occasionally cuts himself off. Keeping a strong front side will allow him to be more consistent down in the zone. Jackie is a hard worker and will continue to improve with experience. We hope to see his progress in the future.

07/05/2018 - California Select Training & Competition - Session 1 (Ages 12-14) Jackie continues to show steady progress in his baseball abilities. At 1B, he displays smooth / fluid actions. He works to square ball up and makes the routine plays. He displays proper footwork around the bag and he is a quality receiver. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At the plate, he shows an athletic setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He shows a feel for the barrel and makes consistent hard contact through line drive approach. At the event, he was 4 for 5. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 68-69 mph. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. Control is a plus as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Getting on a long toss program will help to increase arm strength which will aid in his development on the mound. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a positive attitude, works hard, and is very coachable.

06/20/2018 - Baseball Factory Select Training at the College World Series (Ages 12-14) Jackie is a coachable 1B/RHP prospect who worked hard on his skills during his time at the Baseball Factory Select Training at the College World Series.

At the plate, this RHH sets up in an athletic stance and takes a short stride. He is smooth getting into his load and comes through well with his lower half. He takes a direct swing with fast bat speed which leads to hard contact and gap to gap pop. Jackie can improve as a hitter by getting his hands loaded consistently. On the mound, Jackie shows a polished delivery as he gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He works with a loose arm action and stays inline towards the plate. Jackie shows a three pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 69mph with tailing action. Breaking ball ranges from 60-62mph with 10-4 break.

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).
