Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 1B/OFPosition Projection

06/24/2010 - Omaha Pro Select Training and Tournament - Week 2 Alex improved foot speed as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 7.50 runner. Footwork around the bag is a plus and he showed the ability to pick balls out of the dirt, saving throws. He is aggressive on his approach on ground balls with decent carry on his throws. Offensively, Olson shows a solid setup as he works to keep hands inside the ball, utilizing all fields.

12/27/2009 - Christmas Camp and Tournament #2 Olson continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities as he improved his foot speed as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 7.86 runner. At 1B, Alex showed soft, sure hands with proper footwork around the bag as he makes all the routine plays. At the plate, swing path is short and compact as he shows a solid feel for the barrel, going 5 for 9 at the event.

08/30/2009 - College PREP - Yorktown, VA Alex is a young two-way player at 1B plus in the OF with a tall, thin frame that shows projection as he continues to physically mature and fill out. Foot speed is below average and he must get on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness for the next level. Feet are active in taking proper routes and angles to play through balls in the IF and OF. Defensive abilities at 1B are solid average with slightly above abilities in the OF as his hands and feet work well together through the fielding process. Arm strength is slightly above average and he needs to get on a strict long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength with carry on throws. At the plate, Olson has slightly above average abilities with average power through a solid set up. Hands work free and easy but have to rush due to late stride foot. He needs to work on getting stride foot down sooner to allow hands to work quickly through the baseball as he has potential to be a solid hitter with minor adjustments. With 2 years to further develop, Alex has abilities with a lot of room 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).
