01/12/2024 - 2024 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament Gavin is an athletic 2B with a bright future in the 2026 class. He had an impressive showing at the BF Preseason All American event and scouts came away impressed with his skill set. In the field, he has quick and active feet (6.78 runner). He creates angles from a positive 1st step and has plus range. Moves gracefully and obtains an athletic fielding position. His exchanges are quick and he uses a long 3 qtr. slot to establish accurate feeds. Shows solid footwork around the bag and is quick on his feeds and spins. At the plate, he has a great weekend with 5 hits (3 2B’s) and two BB’s. He stays balanced and hits off a firm front side. Creates a strong finish and looks to generate line drive production. Overall, Gavin is a great player and scouts are eager to witness his development at future BF events.

12/20/2023 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 1 Gavin continues to impress with improvements in his baseball abilities at the Pirate City Christmas tournament. At 2B, defensive abilities are solid as he displays smooth / fluid actions. He shows active footwork as he attacks ball, working to square ball up. Glove action is soft and presents out front. He utilizes his foot quickness in covering a lot of ground. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through a level swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. At the event, he was 3 for 7 with a 2B. Mental makeup is a plus as he has a great personality, is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.

05/14/2023 - National Showcase - Plainview (Lubbock), TX Gavin is a 2B prospect who will graduate in 2026. Medium frame lean build with some strength present and room to add throughout. At 2B, he works to keep the ball in front of him with ability to make routine plays. Fields from a low/square fielding position with his hands out front. He made accurate/on-line throws to first base from a 3/4 arm slot with an arm velocity up to 77mph. Showed good touch on his DP flip and follows. At the plate, he hits from an upright and open stance. Shows good bat to ball skills, with fluid timing to swing, and gets a good hip turn. A direct barrel path enables him to hit balls consistently to the pull side with a bat exit velocity up to 76mph during his round of BP. With 3 years of continued growth and development, we foresee Gavin 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).
