Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OF/LHPPosition Projection

12/27/2010 - Christmas Camp and Tournament 2010 - Session 2 Rankin showed solid OF skills during his time at the Christmas Camp. He reads the ball off the bat well and he moves to it athletically. Ben showed good actions during drill work, he gathers himself well, and his arm is accurate with carry to his target. On the mound, Ben has good balance, a repeatable delivery, and he finishes in an athletic position. He pitches to his spots, has command in and out, and he did a nice job mixing his pitches. At the plate, Ben has a solid set-up, he tracks the ball well, and his swing is compact. He throws his hands directly to the ball, he makes middle contact, and he can work the ball gap to gap. Ben is a good competitor and he is aggressive on the bases.

07/27/2010 - College PREP - Council Bluffs (Omaha), IA Ben is a lean, athletic OF that will graduate in 2012. Defensively, Ben has a quick 1st step, he tracks the ball well, and he takes good angles to the ball. He gets good momentum going toward his target, he fields the ball on his glove side, and he throws accurately to his target with a good arm action. Ben can improve by using 2 hands and adding arm strength. Offensively, Ben has good balance, bat speed, and barrel accuracy. He tracks the ball well, has a compact / level swing, and works the ball up the middle of the field. More aggressiveness, improved timing, and better hip turn should result in offensive tool grades improving.

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).
