12/28/2020 - Winter Pro Training Experience - TX (HS) Wade is a tall (6’2/165lbs) catching prospect who will graduate in 2022. At the Pro Training event, Wade showed great defensive work behind the plate with both his receiving and blocking. He looked very comfortable in his stance, quiet as he received the ball and smooth with his blocking footwork. With an impressive 77 mph raw velocity and clean exchange as he threw to 2nd, Wade continues to remain in the low 2's on his pop times. Not only did he impress behind the dish, but Wade also showed his great frame off with the bat. His loose hands, firm front side, and gap-to-gap approach helped him make hard contact in 6 of his 7 at-bats. With some lower half activation, we see his power numbers continuing to grow. Overall, Wade is a solid prospect who has the skills that will make an impact on the diamond.

10/04/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Parker (Denver), CO Wade continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process but needs to work to get body down sooner. Pop times showed in the 2.30 range with accuracy on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. In the OF, he displays smooth/athletic actions. Feet are active as he takes proper routes/angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls but needs to play through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a closed setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for this 2021 C/OF out of Castle Rock, CO.

05/16/2020 - All-In Membership - Parker (Denver), CO Wade is a strong (6'2"/160) catcher who graduates in 2021. Behind the dish, he sits in well with flexion and tracks pitches into a soft mitt. He works hard laterally around pitches in the dirt and uses his body to center/deaden the ball. Throws to 2B are accurate with coming from a clean transfer - pop times in the 2.2's. At the plate, Hiers displays a closed setup with centered balance. He waits for a pitch he likes, takes a hack and looks to drive the ball back up the middle of the field. Working to stride more square will help to engage his lower 1/2 more which will produce more power. Wade is a few adjustments away from unlocking his potential on the diamond.

05/12/2019 - College PREP - Lakewood (Denver), CO Wade is a skilled RHH backstop who has a solid skill-set. Behind the dish, he sits in well with flexion and athletic actions. He is quick laterally and centers pitches in the dirt off of his chest. Transfer/exchange is quick/clean as he gains ground and puts his throws on the bag (pop times of 2.21). At the plate, this righty stands in with a crouched/closed setup while maintaining a still head. He tracks pitches into the zone, swings on a level path and squares the ball up. This 2021 grad has upside and will only continue to improve.

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).
