01/17/2020 - Baseball Factory's Spring Training at Pirate City (Ages 12-14) RJ continues to show a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. At the plate is where he continues to show best through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields with strength in his swing with gap-to-gap pop. At 1B, he displays smooth / fluid actions. Feet are active as he shows proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Hands are clean but needs to present earlier and more out front. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. Throws are accurate, flashing carry but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a great personality, is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.

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).
