01/21/2018 - College PREP - Delray Beach, FL Dylan showed similar skills in Delray as in previous workouts. He is a solid catcher that will graduate in 2019. Defensively, Dylan sits-in athletically, footwork is efficient, and he looks the ball into his glove. He takes good angles to block, has a clean exchange, and throws with accuracy from a quick arm action. At the plate, Dylan has an open stance, good balance, and solid barrel accuracy. He has a line drive approach and gets his lower body through.

06/24/2017 - Omaha National World Series - Session 2 (Ages 14-18) Dylan continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 2.06 with accuracy. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. He tracks the ball well and sticks balls in zone, displaying a soft glove action. He utilizes his body well but needs to increase lateral movement. At the plate, he improved his hitting / power potential. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Mental makeup is a plus as he is extremely coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.

01/22/2017 - National Tryout Plus - Delray Beach, FL Dylan continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. Behind the plate, feet are active as he gains ground and works through a clean / transfer exchange as he gets rid of the baseball quickly. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 2.33. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. Hands are soft as he lets the ball travel and tracks well, sticking in the zone. He shows off his athletic abilities through the blocking process as he is a wall behind the dish. Receiving / blocking skills show as quality tools that will play well at the next level. At the plate, power potential has improved through an open setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive approach. He shows a feel for the barrel with power showing best to the pull side.

01/24/2016 - College PREP - Delray Beach, FL Dylan continues to work hard on his skills. With the bat, this righty tracks pitches in the zone and waits for one his likes. He swings on a level path and works to engage his lower 1/2, finishing with extension. Behind the dish, Dylan sits in and tracks pitches into a soft mitt. He works around pitches in the dirt, centering the ball off of his chest. Exchange is clean with accurate throws to 2B - pop times now at 2.50. Times will continue to drop as he gains more ground and strengthens his arm. Dylan (2019 grad) still has time to get stronger and develop his tools.

07/14/2015 - Baseball Factory National World Series at Pirate City - Session 1 Symonds continues to show as a very coachable player that is willing to make adjustments as he is a student of the game. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. Behind the plate, pop times showed in the 2.70 range with accuracy on his throws. Receiving / blocking skills show as playable tools as he continues to develop and get more reps. At the plate, he shows a squared setup with balance and tracks the ball well.

01/25/2015 - National Tryout - Delray Beach, FL Dylan continues to work hard and progress in his game. Behind the dish, he sits in well with athletic actions as he tracks the ball into his mitt. Exchange is clean as he gains ground toward 2B on his throws down, with pop times now as low as 2.66. At 1B, Dylan works hard to get around the GB and gets into a square fielding position. He works well around the bag and is sure handed. Working to present his glove and field the ball more out in front will help to improve defensive abilities at 1B. Offensively, this RHH shows patience as he tracks the ball into the hitting zone. He has rhythm to load and swings on a level path, during the middle of the field. A shorter/more direct swing path will increase bat speed and pop off of his barrel. Only a 2019 grad - Dylan still has a ton of time to develop his skills.

11/13/2014 - Baseball Factory Select Training & Competition at Pirate City Dylan showed as a C/RHP but currently projects best behind the plate for the next level. At the plate is where he shows best through a balanced setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path.

Hitting grade will continue to improve as he gets stride foot down sooner to work on time. Behind the plate, pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date. Feet are active, working in line through a clean transfer / exchange. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and increases foot quickness. On the mound, he threw his top velocity to date at 61 mph. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with gradual break. Stock on mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength, develop better off speed stuff and throws more strikes. Mental makeup is a plus as he plays with a lot of energy and is very coachable, working hard to be the best player he can be.

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).
