Official Scouting Report

  • C/RHPPosition Projection

07/05/2024 - Cape Cod Select Training & Competition (MS) Jace is a 2029 C/RHP out of San Diego, CA who continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities on the diamond. Behind the plate he shows a squared setup and tracks the ball well with a soft glove. He utilizes his body well through the blocking, centering balls out front. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 2.40. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows an athletic, open setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach with power showing best to the pull side. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 65 mph. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sink. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for Jace as he enters 8th grade.

01/28/2024 - All-In National Showcase - San Marcos (San Diego), CA Jace is a talented 5 ft 5/105 C/2B in the 2029 class. Behind the plate, he has strong starting points to become and established backstop. Has an understanding of the position and likes to attack and beat the ball to the spot with his glove. The ball sticks to the pocket and he keeps his eyes behind the pitch. Registered an impressive 2.65 pop time. Once he establishes strength and growth maturity, he is projected to increase his quickness and gain a high arm slot to thrown downhill. On the dirt, he has an athletic feel. His feet work well with his body and he lets his body travel to the baseball with easy actions. He stays square to the ball and shows excellent glove presentation. He redirects with clean actions and his arm is loose from a high 3 qtr. slot. At the plate, he impressed scouts with his strength and barrel control. He begins in a good set-up and shows smooth timing. Bat to ball skills are consistent and he can drive the ball to the gaps. Overall, Jace has projectability and scouts are eager to witness his development at future 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).
