Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OF/RHPPosition Projection

07/14/2024 - Baseball Factory Texas All Star Experience Drake continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. In the OF, he displays smooth fluid actions. He takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. At the event, he was 2 for 4 with a 3B. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 56 mph. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. Stock on the mound will continue to improve as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program.

05/19/2024 - All-In National Showcase - Tampa, FL Drake is an athletic OF/RHP in the 2029 class. On the grass, he has a positive 1st step to the ball and his feet work well with his body to generate athletic movements. He likes to be aggressive and gains an athletic fielding position. He uses a long 3 qtr. slot and by working to stay on top of the baseball, he will add further carry to his ball flight. On the mound, he operates with a two-pitch mix and is in the zone. His two seem FB reacts like a cutter and sat 52-4. His CB had signs of command and shaped 10-4. At the plate, he begins in a squared stance and gains a short stride. Stays inside his feet well and creates a line drive barrel path. Has an exit speed of 58 and will increase as his body matures. Overall, Drake has solid starting points and scouts are eager to see his development at future BF events.

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).
