Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OFPosition Projection

06/18/2021 - Baseball Factory All-State Tournament (HS) Jake continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and has a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 6.78. In the OF, defensive abilities are well above average as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls and works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying well above average hitting abilities with solid power potential through a squared setup. Hands are quick (83 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach with power showing best to the pull side. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently.

08/02/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Council Bluffs (Omaha), IA Jake is an athletic OF prospect who will graduate in 2023. In the field, Jake shows fluid footwork and is agile covering ground. He gets into an athletic position and fields the ball out in front of his body. He makes a quick exchange and gets rid of the ball quickly, keeping his throws accurate and on-line to his target. Long tossing to build up his arm strength can help Jake improve defensively. At the plate, this LHH sets up in a square stance and takes a short stride. He is smooth getting into his load and leads well with his lower half. He takes a short swing with decent bat speed, leading to solid line drives. Jake can improve as a hitter by getting more extension through the ball. Overall, Jake is a solid prospect who has the potential to further develop his skills 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).
