Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 2B/OFPosition Projection

12/27/2017 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 2 (Ages 14-18) Makai is a solid 2019 2B/OF prospect. Makai has an active prep step, and is an efficient fielder. He creates angles to the ball, and has a clean exchange. Fielding the ball in front of his body and working from the ground up will allow him to make the routine play more consistently. At the plate, Makai starts in an athletic stance, and loads his hands back into the launch position. He creates rhythm in his hands and stays in his legs. Continuing to attack the inside part of the ball and using the lower half will allow him to get extension through contact. Makai has a great attitude and is eager to learn. He will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.

11/12/2017 - College PREP - Davie, FL Makai is a lean, athletic 2019 2B prospect with an impressive combination of power and speed. He shows big time pop to the pull side (81mph exit velo) and hits the ball hard consistently. At the dish, shows a balanced swing to find the barrel and hit the ball hard. He shows feel for the strike zone and has a patient approach to find a pitch to drive, tracking the ball to the barrel. At second, he shows advanced actions with feel for the position and gets quick jumps to cover plenty of ground. He fields athletically and follows his throws and feeds to get rid of the ball accurately. Working from the ground up to field will allow him to make the tough plays cleanly. Makai is an intriguing prospect we look forward to continue watching.

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).
