Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 2B/CPosition Projection

12/27/2011 - Pirate City Christmas Camp and Tournament - Session 2 Villabona showed similar abilities as we had previously seen in Louisburg, NC. At 2B, his feet are active in getting his body to center the baseball, squaring up and displaying clean hands. Throws are accurate as he gets rid of the baseball quickly through a clean transfer / exchange. He can work on playing through balls better while presenting his hands out front to continue to improve defensive grades. At the plate, Jake shows a squared / athletic setup. He makes consistent contact with his quick hands and shows balance in his stance. For hitting grades to improve, he can work on shortening his swing path, staying closed, and staying inside the ball. Power numbers will increase as he uses his lower half more and works on timing. Jake is a hard worker and battles on the field.

08/14/2011 - College PREP - Raleigh, NC Jake is an athletic two-way player at SS and as a catcher that will graduate in 2012. Foot speed is solid as indicated by his 7.34 60 time. He will benefit by getting on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness for the next level. Feet are active as he displays playable footwork through the fielding process. He moves laterally, displaying range in the MIF with soft, clean hands as he makes the plays. Behind the plate, he works in line to his target but must work on staying low and speeding up transfer / exchange to get rid of the ball quicker. Pop times show a range of 2.40-2.63 with accuracy but needs to get on a long toss program to aid in building more arm strength with carry. Receiving / blocking show as solid tools. Offensively, Villabona shows a balanced approach through a wide base. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed as he works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields. Power numbers will continue to increase as he learns to utilize his lower half more efficiently through the swing. With 2 years to further develop, Jake has abilities with a lot of room to improve.

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).
