Official Scouting Report

  • 1B/RHPPosition Projection

07/27/2021 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 1 (HS) Thor is a coachable 2023 1B/RHP prospect out of Ellicott City, MD who worked hard on his skills during the National World Series at Pirate City. In the field, Thor shows active footwork and is agile moving to the ball. He gets into a square position and fields the ball out in front of his body. His exchange is clean and he gets rid of the ball quickly, working to make accurate throws to his target. Loosening his arm action can help Thor improve his arm accuracy. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a tall stance with his hands held low. He gets into a small load and works through a smooth swing. He gets good extension through the ball and uses the entire field well. Thor can generate more pop off the barrel by driving his lower half more. On the mound, Thor gathers over the rubber and works with a quick arm. He stays inline toward the plate and drives his back leg through. Thor operates with a two pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 73mph with tailing action. Breaking ball sits from 59-61mph with 11-5 break. Extending through his release can help Thor improve his pitch command and velocity. Overall, Thor is a solid prospect who has the potential to further build upon his skills on the field. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this 2023 grad.

12/05/2020 - Mid-Atlantic Regional Offensive Skills Weekend Thor is a coachable 1B prospect who worked hard on his skills during the Offensive Skills Weekend. At the plate, this RHH sets up in an athletic stance and takes a short stride. He is smooth to load and drives through well with his lower half. He stays direct through the ball with fast bat speed, leading to loud contact and great raw power. Overall, Thor is a talented prospect who has the potential to contribute at the next level.

10/18/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Bowie, MD Thor is an athletic OF/1B who will graduate in 2023. In the OF, he displays smooth/fluid actions. He takes proper routes/angles in tracking down balls. Feet are active as he works to get behind balls and plays with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. At 1B, he displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Hands are clean and presents well out front. Feet are active but needs to attack ground balls more and play through with his body. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows an open setup. Hands are loose and work through an aggressive swing path, creating extension. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. With 3 years to further develop, Thor has potential with time and room to improve 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).
