Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHPPosition Projection

01/15/2010 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America - 2010 Skinner showed well offensively at the event. Hands are quick, generating bat speed as he keeps hands through the baseball at contact, displaying extension. Swing path is level with the baseball jumping off his bat when centered as he creates backspin. He was 3 for 6 at the event. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 80-82 mph as we have seen him much better.

07/29/2009 - Under Armour Southwest Regional Tournament - 2009 Byron showcased as a pitcher and 1B with a tall, broad frame that shows future projection as he continues to mature. Currently he projects best on the mound and has some tremendous upside at that position. He has some life on his fastball and hit 89 mph on the radar gun. He has great downward plane to his pitches, which will make it hard for hitter to square it up. Byron has an idea of how to pitch as all of his pitches are above average and so are his mechanics. He uses his lower half well, and drives towards his target. His arm works well and he throws a heavy ball. His slider and changeup are good pitches with good movement. As a hitter, Byron has some strength and power, but has average hitting abilities. Fastball shows a range of 86-89 mph. At 1B, defensive abilities are slightly above average as he presents a solid target. At the plate, Skinner has near above average abilities with outstanding power. Bat speed is a plus and he displays strength in his swing with baseball exploding off his bat when centered. Lower half works well through the swing as he maintains balance. He was 5 for 12 with a 3B at the event. Byron has a tremendous upside on the mound and will get looks from the collegiate coaches and pro scouts.

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).
