  • Position Projection

01/17/2025 - 2025 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament Brant Usherwood has an impressive 6'2"/ 190 lbs frame for a Junior getting ready to enter his spring season. Defensively, the backstop was athletic and presented his glove in front. He was quiet to receive, tracking the ball with his eyes well, and had a quick exchange to throw. His pops were in the 2.0 - 2.1 range consistently, and he was quick down to block balls, centering and deadening the ball in front. At the plate, he showed an ability to switch hit with quick hands and bat whip from both sides. His rhythm and timing was consistent and he rotated his core with strength to make hard gap-to-gap, line-drive contact. Overall - with a frame like this and present ability, Brant has incredible upside and a bright future in the game.

08/27/2023 - National Showcase - Plainview (Lubbock), TX Brant is a C/2B prospect who will graduate in 2026. Tall frame athletic build, with a strong lower half, and room to add throughout. At C, he showed an easy sit with quick/fluid feet and a firm wrist. Quick/athletic actions as he gains ground to second base. Works thumb under baseball keeping balls in the strike zone. A clean transfer, with a short arm action, and a high 3/4 release point. Made accurate and on-line throws with an arm velocity up to 84mph and a best pop time of 2.15 seconds. In the infield, he showed a good pre-pitch routine and ability to field out front. A 1-hand field in the alley, with a clean transfer, and on-line throws consistently to first base. Showed 2 hand exchange on his DP pivots. Scouts thought Brant showed better at catcher. A right-handed hitter, he starts with an upright and open stance. A direct barrel path, with a good rear hip coil, and ability to keep his hands inside the baseball. Hit balls into both gaps with a bat exit velocity up to 77mph during BP. 3 years of continued growth and development should provide Brant with opportunities to play at the next level.

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).
