01/18/2013 - 2013 Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Darian continues to impress with his speed. He ran his fastest 60 time, now running a 6.6. Alston shows hustle at all times on the field. He is a hard worker and his skills on the field reflect that. Defensively at 2B, he moves through fluid footwork, working around the groundball. He turns the DP quickly. As a hitter, he swings on a level path and puts the ball in play. When on the base, Alston is a threat with his speed and game instincts. A college looking for a switch hitting 2nd baseman with speed will get this 2013 graduate some looks.

06/08/2012 - 2012 Under Armour Southeast Championships 18U Participant Alston continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has really improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a well above average runner at 6.90. At 2B, he utilizes his quick / athletic feet in attacking groundballs but needs to play through more to continue to improve defensive grade. Hands are soft / clean / sure as he presents out front. Throws are accurate, flashing carry into his target. At the plate, Darian has improved his hitting grades from the right side through an athletic setup. He loads well and works to keep hands inside the ball through a level swing path. Power numbers will continue to improve as he learns to use his lower half more through the swing. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works to be the best he can be.

12/11/2011 - College PREP - Pensacola, FL Darian is a solid, athletic 2B that will graduate in 2013. Feet are aggressive and quick as he attacks groundballs with soft / clean / sure hands. He gets rid of the baseball quickly with hands / feet working well together. Throws displays carry and accuracy across the diamond from a low arm slot. At the plate, Alston is a switch hitter with similar abilities from both sides. He displays a balanced approach with quick hands that work through a long swing path. For hitting grades to improve, he needs to work to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. Barrel accuracy is a plus with the baseball jumping off his bat when centered. With 2 years to further develop, Darian has a lot of potential and will catch the eyes of the collegiate coaches as he continues to improve.

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).
