Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHP/SSPosition Projection

11/01/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Bradenton (Tampa), FL Juan is an athletic RHP/SS prospect with great raw arm strength (89mph arm velo). In the field, Juan is light on his feet covering ground and fields in an athletic position. His exchange is quick as he fires strong throws across the diamond. At the plate, this RHH sets up in an open stance with center balance. He is fluid to load and drives through well with his lower half. He stays short to the ball with fast bat speed, leading to loud contact and gap to gap power. On the mound, Juan gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He works with a clean arm and extends through his release, staying inline toward the plate. Juan operates with a three pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 81mph with tailing action. Breaking ball sits from 61-63mph with 11-5 break. Changeup sits from 70-71mph with arm side run and sinking action as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Overall, Juan is a talented prospect who has the skillset to contribute at the next level.

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).
