  • 2BPosition Projection

06/22/2012 - Omaha National World Series - Session 2 John continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 6.96 runner. He utilizes his quick feet well in attacking ground balls while presenting his clean hands well out front. Arm strength has improved with throws displaying carry and accuracy into his target. At the plate, hitting grades have improved slightly, now showing well above average. He shows a balanced setup with rhythm. Hands are quick, generating bat speed to and through the zone. At the event, he was 5 for 9 with a 2B. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and will to work hard to be the best player he can be. The Omaha National World Series tournament featured over 100 players from 20+ states, and Icaza was MVP of the event. He is certainly a player to watch.

12/18/2011 - College PREP - Hightstown, NJ John is an athletic 2B that will graduate in 2013. Feet are quick / aggressive as he attacks groundballs, playing through well as he displays soft / clean hands that are presented out front. Working on his feeds / turns of the double play will help to improve defensive grades. Throws are accurate but he needs to build more arm strength to improve carry on his throws. At the plate, Icaza is a switch hitter that shows similar strong abilities from both sides. He shows an athletic setup with balance. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed as he works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields. Swing path is short and direct to the ball. Power numbers will continue to improve as he adds more overall body strength. With 2 years to further develop, John has a lot of potential and will catch the eyes of the collegiate coaches as he continues 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).
