01/17/2014 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament Stephen showed once again a competitive nature with solid pitchability at the Under Armour Pre-Season All-America. On the bump, the 6'1/185 lbs righty threw his fastball consistently in the low 80's topping out at 84 MPH. There is even more velo in the tank which has not yet come out. As he continues to throw this spring, he will find added control and potential command as he stays loose and fluid with his delivery. In all - DiStefano is a solid young player that has strong intangibles and will help a program in the fall.

10/09/2013 - Arizona Senior Fall Classic Steven continues to show as a RHP/3B, projecting best on the mound for the next level where he has a big upside. Delivery is sound / repeatable, allowing his arm action to work quick and free to the plate. Arm strength has improved as he topped out at 88 mph. Fastball showed a range of 80-88 mph. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with sweeping action. He maintains arm speed on his changeup, showing a feel for with arm side run. For stock to continue to improve on mound, he needs to work to throw more strikes. At 3B, feet are active as he works to square balls up, moves well to glove side, and displays soft / clean hands. Defensive grade will continue to improve as he attacks ground balls, plays through and presents hands more out front. At the plate, he shows a squared / athletic setup with balance. Hands are loose and work through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact, mainly to the pull side. For hitting grades to continue to improve he needs to work to stay inside the ball to utilize all fields. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more. DiStefano has an upside on the mound where he is very aggressive with a solid mound presence.

09/18/2013 - Under Armour Fall Classic, powered by Baseball Factory's Team One DiStefano competed well on the mound with his explosive arm side run with his 4 seam fastball.

He keeps his eyes on target, works to his balance point well, and he has a good front side. His FB has A/S run, and he finishes in a complete position. Offensively, Steven tracks well, he has a middle approach, and he shows the ability to square the ball up well.

On the mound, he showed a good tempo and a repeatable delivery, pounding the zone, keeping hitters off balance and getting outs. With greater use from his lower half, he will see velocity jumps. In the infield, Steven is versatile enough to play any spot athletically with good glove presentation and range.

He has an exceptionally athletic, muscular build. On the mound, he throws three pitches for strikes with a devastating change-up that has arm-side run. He throws a lot of strikes and keeps a steady tempo, allowing the defense to make plays behind him. In the infield, he has soft hands, is aggressive attacking ground balls and is strong to throw. Offensively, he hits off a stiff front leg while generating some decent bat speed. He is aggressive attacking balls in the zone and stays inside well at contact.

Command / control are a plus as he attacks hitters and throws strikes with all his pitches. Mental makeup is a plus as he is a bulldog on the mound, competing well, and does not get distracted. Getting better extension with his lead arm and finishing more complete will help him continue to become a better pitcher. Steven also was effective defensively and with the bat, and made adjustments especially with working on using all fields for hitting. His future is on the mound, where he has a lot of potential, especially given his arm strength.

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).
