Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • C/OFPosition Projection

01/15/2021 - 2021 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament (TX) Riley is an athletic C/OF prospect who showed well during the Pre-Season All-America Tournament. Behind the plate, Riley is fluid moving to block and keeps dirt balls in front of him. He sits in an athletic stance and receives with soft hands. His exchange is clean and he gets rid of the ball quickly, making on-line throws to the 2B bag. At the plate, this RHH sets up in an open stance and takes a short stride. He gets into his load and leads well with his lower half. He stays direct through the ball with fast bat speed, leading to strong line drives to all fields. Overall, Riley is a talented prospect who has the potential to contribute at the next level.

College PREP - Plainview (Lubbock), TX Riley is a solid 2-way player who will graduate in 2023. At SS, Riley has active feet, soft hands, and he fields in a low/square position. He fields athletically, uses 2 hands, and his exchange is clean; delivering the ball with carry and accuracy across the diamond. Added aggressiveness and a quicker release will help solid defensive skills get even better. Behind the plate, Riley has active feet, a presentable glove, and he sits in low and athletically. He blocks and receives well, his exchange is clean, and he throws with accuracy and carry to 2nd base. Pop times were as low as 2.3 seconds. Catching can further improve by not standing upright to throw and with a looser arm action. Offensively, this RHH has a square stance, good balance, and a rhythmic swing. He has good bat speed, strength in his swing, and he can spray the ball gap to gap. If Riley can stay level and use more lower half, solid hitting will get even better.

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).
