  • OFPosition Projection

12/04/2022 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Highland Park (DFW), TX Caden is an OF who will graduate in 2025. Medium frame athletic build with strength present and room to add throughout. Ran his 60-yard dash in 7.03 seconds. In the OF, he showed ability to cover ground in all directions and make routine plays. Showed good lateral range as he works behind/through the baseball with a high 1-hand catch. Showed ability to pick out hops and has a quick exchange. He throws from a 3/4 arm slot with an arm velocity up to 73mph. At the plate, he starts with an athletic and open stance. Starts with activated hands, with late bat whip, and good barrel control at contact point. A flat barrel path enables him to hit hard line drives to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 77mph. With 2 years of continued growth and development, we foresee Caden having a bright future on the baseball field.

11/14/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Lufkin, TX Caden is a LHH OF in the 2023 class. Defensively, he showed the ability to flip hips well and work behind the baseball with good angles. Offensively, he displayed an open stance with a short stride to find balance with quick bat speed to make consistent contact with gap to gap power. We believe Caden could benefit from a long toss program to improve arm strength but overall is a very solid player who will only get better with time.

11/24/2019 - National Tryout Plus - Shreveport, LA Caden is an OF prospect who continues to showcase his skills on the field. In the OF, Caden takes good angles to the ball and makes the routine plays. He gets rid of the ball quickly and works to keep his throws accurate to his target. Getting into a more athletic fielding position can help Caden improve defensively. At the plate, this LHH sets up in an athletic stance and takes his stride on time. He works to barrel up the baseball and flashes plus pop to his pull side. Caden can improve as a hitter by working a smoother load into his swing. Overall, Caden is a solid prospect who has the potential to further develop his skills on the field.

07/21/2019 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 2 (Ages 12-14) Caden is a lean OF who has a promising future on the diamond. Foot speed is above average as indicated by his 60 time of 7.27. At the plate is where he shows best through an aggressive approach. Hands are quick, and work through level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields and has strength in his swing with power showing best to the pull side. In the OF, he utilizes his athletic feet well in tracking down balls through proper routes / angles. He works to get behind balls, playing through well with momentum to his target. Range is a plus as he moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. With 4 years to further develop, Caden has the makings of a special type player as he continues to progress his game.

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).
