Official Scouting Report

  • 2B/SSPosition Projection

03/20/2022 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Bowie, MD Zach is a MIF out of Laurel, MD in the class of 2023. Defensively, he displayed quick feet and good agility by reacting off the bat well. He works through the baseball in a low athletic fielding position while showing great hands. He makes clean exchanges and throws with a short arm action which allows for accuracy/carry across the diamond. Offensively, he uses an athletic set up with fluid timing to deliver the barrel with quick hands. His path is direct to the ball which enables him to make consistent line drive contact all over the field. Zach is a good player we believe possesses the skills to make it to the next level.

Throws are accurate but he will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently.

06/07/2019 - College Recruiting Day - Columbia, MD Zack is a young SS prospect. At the plate, Zack starts with a tight and compact stance to where he strides out and unloads with force. One thing that Zack should work on is getting his weight back and shifting it in through the zone. Zack also needs to not grip the bat so hard and have loose hands when handling the stick. At SS, Zack possesses a good feel for the position. This young SS should work on getting behind the ball to get more velocity and accuracy on his throws to first base. Zack also has good range to baseballs hit up the middle and in the hole. He also has a very good feel for turning a double play. Overall, we are looking forward to how this young player develops in our system and are excited to see where he goes.

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).
