Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • SSPosition Projection

06/18/2021 - Baseball Factory All-State Tournament (HS) Jalen is a SS prospect who graduated in 2021. Medium frame athletic build with strength present and projectable frame with room to fill throughout. Ran a 7.15 60-yard dash. At SS, shows ability to cover ground with good 1st steps that allow him to cut down the distance on groundballs. Shows ability to throw from multiple arm slots, with accurate/on-line throws, and carry across the diamond with an arm velocity of 77mph. A right-handed hitter begins with an athletic and open stance. Quickness to hands, with good extension, and ability to drive balls oppo. Keeps hands inside ball and made solid contact during BP and in live game action. Was 2-5 in live game action with a 2B and a 3B. Gets good reads/jumps on bases. With continued development, we see him having opportunities to play at the next level.

03/21/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Columbia, SC Jalen is an athletic SS who has a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed is excellent as indicated by his 60 time of 6.86. At SS, defensive abilities are well above average as he displays smooth / athletic actions. Feet are active as he works around and attacks balls and plays through with his body. Glove action is soft and presents well out front. He moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground, displaying range in the MIF. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying solid hitting / power potential through an open setup. Hands are quick (85 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach with power showing best to the pull side. Jalen has potential with time and room to progress his game.

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).
