Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OFPosition Projection

12/27/2012 - Pirate City Christmas Camp and Tournament Ben showed well both offensively and defensively during is time in Pirate City. At the plate, Ben has an athletic set-up, a decent load, and a quick front hip. He has a level swing and puts the bat on the ball. In the OF, Ben has firm hands, a good 1st step, and he fields in a square position. He has a clean exchange, and throws with a quick / loose arm action with accuracy and carry to his target.

04/29/2012 - National Tryout - Providence, RI Ben continues to show solid abilities in the OF. Defensively, he fields the ball at his highest point, he is aggressive to attack the ball, and he stays in-line toward his target. If Ben can continue to increase his arm velocity his abilities in the OF will improve. At the plate, his hitting grade improved as he creates extension thru contact. He maintains good rhythm and is a line-drive type hitter. Ben will continue to improve through hard work.

07/14/2011 - Cape Cod Pro Select Training - July 14-18, 2011 Johnston continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 7.25 runner. Defensive grades have improved as he is aggressive in taking proper routes / angles in tracking down balls as he gets good jumps, reading well off the bat. Offensively, hitting grades and power are now average. He shows an athletic setup and hands attacking the ball, staying inside as he utilizes the middle of the field. He shows a feel for the barrel with baseball jumping off his bat when centered mainly to the pull side.

03/27/2011 - College PREP - Providence, RI Ben is an athletic and young outfielder that will graduate in 2014. Defensively he takes good routes / angles to the ball, shows a clean crow hop, and makes consistent throws to his target. He needs to work on a lower and more aggressive approach to the ball to show confidence. He also needs to play through the ball better which will help him stay on line in his throws and help develop more carry to his target. At the plate, Ben has a slightly crouched stance with a short stride and is balanced throughout the swing. He also makes good use of his lower body getting through the ball after contact. He needs to continue to improve on getting his front foot down sooner which will help him with a better hand load to increase bat speed. He also needs to achieve better extension at contact which will help with backspin and power to the gaps. Again he is young, so some of this will happen with overall strength and maturity to his body.

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).
