09/03/2021 - Baseball Factory's All-Region Tournament (HS) Ricardo is a catching prospect in the class of 2022. Behind the plate, he shows a good ability to throw down to 2B. His quickest pop time was 1.94 with help from a quick exchange. He also showed a good ability to block and receive. At the plate, he hits from a tall and open stance. He shows smoothness throughout his swing and the ability to drive the ball to the middle of the field. He does a good job getting his knob pointed to the catcher to help activate his hands. He had an exit velo high of 89 MPH. He reached base 3 times in game action. Ricardo is talented player with more room to develop.

01/08/2021 - 2021 Baseball Factory Pre-Season Prospects Tournament (HS) Ricardo is an athletic catcher who has a promising future on the diamond. Behind the plate he shows a squared setup and tracks the ball well with soft glove. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. Pop times showed a range of 2.10-2.20 with accuracy / carry on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and works to get rid of the ball quicker. At the plate, he shows an athletic, open setup. Hands are quick (80 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive approach. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach, flashing gap to gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing and shows a feel for the barrel. Ricardo 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).
