Official Scouting Report

  • RHP/3BPosition Projection

06/24/2010 - Omaha Pro Select Training and Tournament - Week 2 Thorson has really improved his baseball abilities, especially on the mound where he is now a class 3 type player. Arm strength has really improved as he topped out at 88 mph. Fastball showed a range of 84-88 mph with tailing action. Off speed pitches are quality and will get outs at the next level. He over matched the completion and will get looks from the top collegiate coaches as well as pro scouts. He works fast and attacks hitters, changing speeds well, and keeping pitch count down.

12/06/2009 - College PREP - McCook, IL Bobby is a young two-way player on the mound plus at 3B with a solid, strong looking body that is well suited for his positions. Foot speed is near average as he needs to get on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness for the next level. Feet are aggressive but needs to be more active in coming to get, playing through the baseball with his feet and hands. Glove action is soft but deep due to feet stopping through the fielding process, allowing to baseball to get in on his body dictating play. Defensive abilities are average with solid average arm strength as his throws display life, carry, and accuracy across the diamond. He will benefit by getting on a strict long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength, raising velocities. At the plate, Thorsen displays solid average abilities with near above average power through a balanced approach. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a long swing path. He needs to work on letting the ball travel, working to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. Barrel accuracy is a plus to the pull side as he displays strength in his swing. On the mound, fastball shows a range of 81-83 mph with some arm side run on a downhill plane creating tough angles on hitters with location being down in the zone. Breaking ball is best off speed pitch showing above average while displaying 12/6 shape, tight spin, and late breaking action. Slider is a quality pitch, resembling breaking ball but with better command. Changeup shows a solid feel for with arm side run. With 2 years to further develop, Bobby has a lot of potential with an upside on the mound. He will get looks from the collegiate coaches as he continues 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).
