Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OF/RHPPosition Projection

11/14/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - San Marcos (San Diego), CA Nathan continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. At the plate, hitting abilities are solid with well above average power potential through an athletic setup. Hands are quick (84 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields with gap to gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing and shows a feel for the barrel. In the OF, he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls but needs to play through with momentum to his target. He utilizes his quick feet well in covering a lot of ground. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 72 mph. Fastball shows good arm side run. Breaking ball shows 11/5 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his split finger with sink. Control is solid as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to improve as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program.

11/21/2020 - All-In Membership - Irvine (Los Angeles), CA Nathan is an athletic, lean OF/RHP who has a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed is well above average as indicated by his 7.20 60 time. In the OF, defensive abilities are solid as he displays smooth / fluid actions. Feet are active as he works to get behind balls and plays with momentum to his target. He moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground, displaying plus range. At the plate, he shows a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. On the mound, he gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He works with a loose arm and extends through on his release, staying inline towards the plate. He shows a three pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 70 mph. Breaking ball displays 12/6 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action. He can improve as a pitcher by long tossing to build up his arm strength. With 3 years to further develop, Nathan has potential with time and room to progress his 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).
