01/13/2017 - Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Joab is an athletic shortstop prospect who is one of the top defenders in the 2017 class. He has smooth actions, with a quick first step and outstanding soft, sure hands. He is natural in the field and finishes plays with plenty of arm across the diamond. He plays low and confidently showing the ability to make all the plays. At the plate Joab is balanced with quick hands and excellent eye/hand coordination. He makes a very good move through contact and handles the bat well. This should be a big spring for Joab who will command a lot of attention at the Puerto Rico HS and Baseball Academy.

10/12/2016 - Arizona Senior Fall Classic Joab is an athletic/lean SS who will graduate in 2017. Joab impressed with his overall proficiency at the position, showing outstanding footwork, smooth actions to field, and an accurate/strong arm (91 MPH raw velocity). He is very agile in the field and gets into a good athletic position to field with soft hands. At the plate, Joab sets up in a square stance and takes his stride on time to meet the ball. He is smooth getting back into his load and shows extremely quick hands/wrists that worked inside the baseball. He barrels the ball up consistently, driving the ball to all fields with power. Joab is a special player, who will transition well into the next level and beyond.

06/29/2016 - 2016 Under Armour Showcase: Baseball Factory's National South Joab is a middle infielder who has a promising future on the diamond. At 2B, he has plus lateral range (6.68 60 time), working from the ground-up with smooth actions. Transfer is quick as he fires strong throws zipping across the diamond. At the plate - he has strong/centered balance with fluid rhythm to load. He takes an absolute hack - crushing the ball to deep parts of the park (exit velocity = 92 mph). A projectable MIF - Joab will play at a very high level and make an immediate impact.

06/05/2016 - College PREP - Kansas City, KS Gonzalez is a very talented RHH MIF prospect who has a solid all-around skill-set. Defensively, this fluid MIF works lightly on the balls of his feet and can cover a ton of ground to his right and left. He gathers smoothly and fires strong/accurate throws with zip (90 mph) across the diamond. At the plate, this RHH shows an athletic/balanced setup with quiet/simple actions. Hands are quick as he whips the barrel with speed and engages his lower 1/2 well, driving the ball to all parts of the field. Once on base, he's a threat to steal as he has tremendous speed (6.68 60 yard dash). This top of the line-up type of hitter will make an impact both offensively and defensively when he takes the field. He will play at a very high level and will be fun to watch.

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).
