Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • SS/RHPPosition Projection

01/13/2023 - 2023 Baseball Factory Rookie Pre-Season All-America Tournament Declan is a 2027 SS/RHP who showcased his skills during the BF Rookie PSAA Tournament. At SS, he showed athletic actions, with active/efficient footwork, and plays from the ground up. Good 1st step reads as he fields from a low/square fielding position with soft hands out front. He gets rid of the baseball as he made accurate throws to first base with an arm velocity up to 77mph. At the plate, he hits from a crouched and even stance. Showed good balance in his swing as he hit balls to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 72mph during BP. During the games, he proved to be a tough out as he reached base 4 times with a triple, 2 doubles, and a single. A right-handed pitcher, he gathers over the rubber, with good rear hip coil, and strides in-line to target. Does a good job of repeating his delivery and has a consistent release point. He attacks hitters with a FB that topped out at 69mph, and an 11/5 shaped breaking ball that flashes good sweeping action. Overall, Declan is a solid 2-way player who has the potential to further build upon his skills on the 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).
