Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 3B/RHPPosition Projection

11/07/2021 - All-In Membership - Salem (Roanoke), VA Alex is a 3B/RHP prospect who continues to showcase his skills on the diamond. In the field, Alex shows efficient footwork and fields the ball out in front of his body. His exchange is clean and he gets rid of the ball quickly, making accurate throws with carry across the diamond. At the plate, this RHH sets up in an athletic stance and takes his stride on time. He shows fluid rhythm and drives through well with his lower half. He works through a short swing and produces strong line drives. On the mound, Alex gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time. He works inline toward the plate and finishes with a controlled landing. Alex operates with a three pitch mix with his fastball topping out at 72mph. Breaking ball sits from 62-64mph with 11-5 break. Changeup sits from 65-67mph with arm side run as sinking action. Overall, Alex is a talented prospect who has the time and potential to further build upon his skills on the field.

02/07/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Myrtle Beach, SC Alex is a lean OF/2B who has a promising future on the diamond. In the OF, defensive abilities are outstanding as 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 through with momentum to his target. He moves well laterally with range improving as he increases foot quickness. At 2B, defensive abilities are solid. Feet are active as he works around balls and plays through with his body. Glove action is clean and present well out front. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying well above average hitting abilities with solid power potential through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. With 2 years to further develop, Alex has potential and will get looks from the college coaches as he continues to progress 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).
