Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 2B/RHPPosition Projection

05/02/2021 - All-In Membership - Rosemont (Chicago), IL Zach is a 2022 2B/RHP. Medium frame with some strength present and plenty of room to develop. Primary 2B, who showed a good prep step and efficient footwork. Good rhythm to actions with good fielding angles. Works into a square fielding position with some feel for glove pocket. Short arm action into a high 3/4 arm slot with a recorded an arm velocity of 70mph. Showed good touch on DP feeds. Secondary RHP, throws from a high 3/4 arm slot with eyes on target. Good tempo to delivery who showed ability to command 3 pitches. FB sat 64-65mph with some sink. Mixed in a 10/4 curveball with some depth and a developing changeup with some sink. Right-handed hitter who hits from an upright and open stance. Quiet setup, with a short/square stride, as he glides into contact point. Middle of the field approach with a bat exit velocity of 78mph. With 2 years of continued growth and development, we foresee him having the opportunity to play at the next level.

02/16/2020 - College PREP - Lake Zurich (Chicago), IL Zach is a 2B/RHP prospect who will graduate in 2022. In the field, Zach makes the routine plays and works to keep his throws accurate to his target. Getting into a lower fielding position can help Zach improve defensively. At the plate, this RHH sets up in a square stance with center balance. He works to barrel up the baseball and drives the ball to the opposite field. Zach can improve as a hitter by working a smoother load into his swing. On the mound, Zach gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He works with a clean arm and extends through his release, staying inline towards the plate. Zach shows a four pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 65mph. Breaking ball sits from 51-53mph with 11-5 break. Cutter sits from 55-56mph with good movement. Changeup sits at 55mph with late arm side run as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Long tossing to build up his arm strength can help Zach improve as a pitcher. Overall, Zach is a developing prospect who has the potential to further progress his skills on the field.

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).
