Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • Position Projection

02/19/2023 - National Showcase - Highland Park (DFW), TX Dante is a 2B/RHP prospect who will graduate in 2027. A young/developing player with strength present and plenty of room to add throughout. At 2B, he works to center the baseball with active/efficient footwork. Works into a square fielding position with good glove actions and hands out front. Made accurate throws from a high 3/4 arm slot, with momentum towards target, and an arm velocity up to 70mph. On the mound, he gathers over the rubber and has level eyes. He has a simple and repeatable delivery. He attacks hitters with a FB that sits 66-68mph, a breaking ball with 12/6 shape, and a changeup he throws with FB arm speed. FB was best pitch during his bullpen session. At the plate, he hits from a crouched and open stance. A simple setup to start and takes an aggressive swing. Keeps bat flat in the zone for a long time and made consistent contact. During his round of BP, he hit line drives into both gaps with a bat exit velocity up to 73mph. With 4 years of continued growth and development, we foresee this 2-way prospect having a bright future on the baseball field.

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).
