10/19/2019 - Mid-Atlantic Regional Pitching/Catching Weekend (Ages 12-14)
Josh is a RHP/C prospect who continues to work hard on his skills. On the mound, Josh keeps his glove centered in his balance point and separates his hands on time. He works with a clean arm and accelerates through his release. Josh shows a three pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 63mph with cutting action. Breaking ball sits from 53-56mph with 12-6 break. Changeup sits from 56-59mph with arm side run as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Driving his lower half more can help Josh improve as a pitcher. With six more years to develop, Josh has the time and potential to further progress his skills on the field.
03/02/2019 - Mid Atlantic Regional Hitting, Pitching & Catching Combined Weekend (Ages 12-14)
Josh is a coachable C prospect who worked hard on his skills during the Training Weekend in Maryland. Behind the plate, Josh presents a good target to the pitcher and tracks the ball into his glove. Sitting in a more athletic primary stance can help Josh improve defensively. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a square stance and takes a short stride. He gets into his load and drives the ball to the opposite field. Josh can improve as a hitter by maintaining his center balance. With six more years to develop, Josh has the time and potential to further progress his skills on the field.
08/09/2018 - Babe Ruth National All Star Classic
Josh is a coachable C/RHP prospect who continued to work hard on his skills during his time at the Babe Ruth National All Star Classic. Behind the plate, Josh shows active footwork and covers up well when blocking. He sits in an athletic stance and makes accurate throws to 2B. Josh can improve defensively by presenting a better target to the pitcher. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a square stance and takes a square stride. He is fluid getting into his load and drives through well with his lower half. He barrels up the baseball and drives to all fields. Josh can improve as a hitter by taking a level swing to the ball. On the mound, Josh keeps his eyes on target and works inline towards the plate. He shows a two pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 59mph. Breaking ball sits from 51-53mph as he throws with fastball arm speed. Josh can improve as a pitcher by gathering to a balance point over the rubber. With seven more years to develop, Josh has the time and potential to further progress his skills on the field.

01/12/2018 - Baseball Factory Spring Training at Historic Dodgertown
Joshua is a coachable, hardworking player who is also a great teammate. Behind the plate, feet are active working in line through a clean transfer/exchange. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and works to get rid of the baseball quicker. Glove action is clean but will benefit by presenting an earlier/lower target. He uses his body well through the blocking process but needs to improve flexibility and work to get down sooner. At the plate, he shows a closed setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Fastball shows a range of 48-52 mph with arm side run. Control is a plus as he throws strikes and locates to both sides of the plate. Stock on the mound will continue to improve as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program.
12/27/2017 - Interactive Video Program - Pittsburgh, PA
Joshua worked out behind the plate and on the mound during his last workout. Behind the plate, Joshua has fluid footwork, agile movements, and he sits in low. He has a quick/clean exchange, and a loose arm action with consistency to his target. On the mound, Joshua stands over the rubber well, he has a clean arm action, and keeps his eyes on target. He has a compact delivery, gets good extension on his pitches, and uses his lower body well. At the plate, Joshua has an athletic set-up, good balance, and a rhythmic swing. He separates on-time, makes square contact, and can work the ball gap to gap. Joshua can improve with work on the following.

1. Long toss
2. Soften/lighten hands
3. Lower elbow
Pitching
1. Arm speed
2. More lower body
3. CB
Offense

10/29/2017 - Interactive Video Program - Pittsburgh, PA
Joshua is a C/OF who will graduate in 2025. Defensively behind the plate, he displays a relaxed/low setup. He works hard to block wild pitches and makes accurate throws down to 2B. In the OF, he gets into a good ready position as he looks to track down hard-hit fly balls. He tries to work behind the ball, gathers well and sets his feet to throw. With the stick, Joshua displays an athletic setup with smooth rhythm to load. His lower 1/2 stays firm as he swings on a direct path through the zone and consistently drives pitches on a line. Overall abilities in his game will improve with work on the following.
Catching
1. Quicker footwork
2. Stick pitches
3. Quick exchange to throw
Outfield

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).

Running - U.S. National Metrics
Measured with a stopwatch, this test indicates the athlete's acceleration in the first 10
yards
of the sprint. This is crucial when tracking down a ball or exploding off of a base.
Measured with a stop watch, the 40yd dash tests an athlete's speed from point A to B.
Considering acceleration, top speed, and stamina, this test combines to show an athlete's
straight-line speed.
Measured with a stop watch, the 60yd dash tests an athlete's speed from point A to B.
Considering acceleration, top speed, and stamina, this test combines to show an athlete's
straight-line speed.
Athlete's run in short bursts 5 yards to the left, changes direction and run 10 yards to the
right, then pivot and explodes 5 yards back to the left finishing where they started. The
shuttle run tests an
athlete's lateral quickness, explosion in short areas and ability to change direction.
Athlete's run in short bursts 5 yards to the right, changes direction and run 10 yards to
the
left, then pivot and explodes 5 yards back to the right finishing where they started. The
shuttle run tests an
athlete's lateral quickness, explosion in short areas and ability to change direction.
The athlete starts from a still place, crouches, rocks back and leaps forward on a
horizontal
plane. This measures lower half strength, hip mobility and core strength.
Taking the standard broad jump to the next level, here we can test for lateral quickness and
explosion by having the athlete jump off on one leg and in the direction of the other. This
also gives us a feel for the
independent explosiveness of each side of the lower half of the body.

explosion by having the athlete jump off on one leg and in the direction of the other. This
also gives us a feel for the
independent explosiveness of each side of the lower half of the body.
Using a dynamometer, we test for grip strength by having an athlete squeeze the device as
hard
as they can for a few seconds. In general, the stronger an athlete's grip the quicker their
bat speed and throwing
velocity.

bat speed

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.
The batter hits a ball off a tee and we use a radar gun to capture the velocity of the ball
coming off the barrel of the bat. This test gives an idea of an athlete's bat speed,
explosiveness, hand speed, and overall strength.
The arm grade takes into consideration a variety of components including the initial
trajectory (speed and angle upon
exit from the hand), the raw radar velocity (measured in MPH), the
carry or flight of the ball (what the ball is doing
in the air), and the action and accuracy of the ball into the target (speed
and angle upon arrival).
