Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 3BPosition Projection

09/16/2021 - Pathway AZ Upperclass - 18U Nephi is a coachable 3B prospect who showed well during the Pathway tournament. In the field, Nephi shows efficient footwork with a quick first step. He gets into a low position and fields the ball out in front of his body. His exchange is clean and he gets rid of the ball quickly, making accurate throws with carry across the diamond. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a tall stance and takes a soft stride. He gets his hands activated on time and is explosive driving his lower half through. He generates plus bat speed through the zone and drives the ball from gap to gap with authority. Overall, Nephi is a talented prospect who has the potential to contribute at the next level.

06/20/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Honolulu, HI Nephi is a solid, athletic C/3B who has a tremendous future on the diamond. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. Quick lateral movements allow him to center/deaden pitches in the dirt off a soft chest. Runners will not want to test his cannon (87 mph velocity) for an arm with impressive pop times of 1.97. At 3B, he displays smooth actions. Feet are active but needs to attack balls more and play through with his body. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Offensively, he continues to shine with outstanding hitting abilities with excellent power potential. He has athletic/smooth actions with fluid rhythm to load. He gets good hand separation and delivers the barrel with leverage, resulting in a barrel explosion (88 mph exit velocity) with the ball screaming off his barrel. Nephi has the makings of a special type player and will get looks from the top collegiate coaches with his baseball abilities.

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).
