12/27/2008 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2008 Oswald was not at 100% at any point during this event. He was sick for the first couple of days, and then battle for the last two days despite not feeling well. He showed some arm strength behind the plate, along with some strength and life in his swing at the plate. He was not able to move his feet with much life, understandably, either behind the plate or to hit and run.

10/19/2008 - ACR-E - Maryland - 11 Nate worked hard and continued to show his ability behind the plate. With throws to 2B, had ability to finish throws that were accurate. Set-up was decent and flashed quick exchange. Would like to see him stay low to throw instead of standing up. While receiving, had low target with ability to stick pitches. Good elbow flexion with ability to get around ball. While blocking, does a good job of working low with ability to take appropriate angles. Make sure to cover up the hole. At the plate, had relaxed approach with fluidity throughout the swing. Had decent bat speed with an up-the-middle approach while hitting line drives. Will develop better use of all fields by letting ball travel deeper into hitting zone.

06/28/2008 - ACR-E - Maryland - 4 Nate is a hard working C who was able to make adjustments as instructed. Throws were accurate to 2B. Times will improve as feet get quicker and squares up to throw to 2B. While receiving, excellent job of getting around front knee, lets ball travel, and has firm hands. While blocking, shows ability to center and deaden ball. Angles will improve with quicker feet and reaction time. Kicks back with feet a little which makes him use hands to get up. At the plate, has good load and is relaxed and repeats swing. Ball comes off bat when centered. Will become complete hitter when he learns to use lower half properly. At times, either has no lower or fires lower too early.

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).
