Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • LHPPosition Projection

10/16/2016 - College PREP - Bel Air (Baltimore), MD Kwasi is a solid, long LHP who has a promising future on the mound. On the bump, this lefty throws a 3-pitch mix coming from a high 3/4 arm slot and loose/free arm action. He works through a strong balance point and has smooth overall actions. Tempo is quick as he works fast. Fastball showed a range of 68-71 mph. Breaking ball displays 1/7 shape with tight spin and late / sharp break. Arm speed is maintained on changeup showing a feel for pitch with solid arm side run. Control is solid as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Getting on a long toss program will help to increase arm strength which will aid in his development on the mound. At the plate he continues to shine, showing outstanding hitting / power potential. Hands are quick (86 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive approach. He has strength in his swing and stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap to gap pop. With 2 years to further develop, Kwasi has abilities with time and room to continue to progress 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).
