The chart below shows the levels of college baseball, along with the range of players with potential to be recruited at that level.
Division I | Class 1 – 4 |
Division II | Class 1 – 5 |
Division III | Class 1 – 8 |
NAIA | Class 1 – 6 |
JUCO | Class 1 – 8 |
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).

Also known as Pop Time, this test is measured using a stopwatch. The catcher receives a pitch, exchanges, and throws down to 2B. The timer starts when the ball contacts the Catcher's glove and is stopped when the ball contact's the middle infielder's glove at 2B. Combining technique, agility, and arm strength, Pop Time is one of the most important metrics for a Catcher because it indicates their ability to throw runners out.
