Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OF/LHPPosition Projection

12/12/2021 - All-In Membership - San Bernardino, CA Carson is a switch hitting 1B/LHP in the class of 2027. Defensively, he showed efficient footwork and the ability to field the ground ball in the center of his body while also being athletic around the bag receiving throws. Offensively on the left hand side he exhibited good separation with loose hands to whip the barrel through the zone. On the right hand side, he did a good job of covering the plate and getting extension through the baseball through the middle of the field. On the bump, he displayed decent mechanics with a good lower half push while being able to repeat and keep the ball down in the zone. Carson had a good showing at the San Bernandino event and we expect with 3+ years of development he will continue to improve his game to the next level on the diamond.

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).
