At the plate, Brian showed strong, quick hands as he keeps hands through the baseball at contact, displaying extension. He was 2 for 7 at the event.

08/16/2009 - College PREP - Gaffney, SC Brian is a young catcher with an average body that shows projection as he continues to polish and firm up body. Foot speed is well below average and he must get on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness for the next level. Feet work well in line with his target in gaining ground as he shows plus accuracy on his throws. Pop time are in the 2.08 -2.20 range with a solid transfer / exchange in getting rid of the baseball quickly. Arm strength is slightly above average and he must get on a long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength, lowering pop times. Receiving skills are solid average through a solid setup as he presents a low target with a soft glove action. Blocking skills are near average and need further development to play at the next level. At the plate, Norman shows as a switch hitter that shows slightly above average abilities from both sides of the plate. Power numbers are better from the left side, showing average power. He shows a solid set up with a level swing path as he maintains balance throughout the swing. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to utilize his lower half more efficiently through the swing. With 2 years to further develop, Brian has abilities with a lot of room to improve and the makings of a solid college prospect.

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).
