A left-handed hitter sets up in an athletic and open stance. Starts with a good setup and stays balanced throughout swing. Showed good barrel control and ability to hit low pitches well. Sprayed the ball to all fields and had 2 hits in live game action. Recorded a bat exit velocity of 84mph. With continued growth and development, we foresee him having opportunities to play at the next level.

09/04/2020 - HS All-Region Tournament Jaden continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now a 6.89 runner. In the OF, defensive abilities are well above average as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking balls down. He works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. Range is a plus as he moves well laterally and covers ground. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying well above average hitting abilities with solid power potential. Hands are quick (80 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He shows a feel for the barrel and makes consistent hard contact with power showing best to the pull side.

12/27/2019 - Under Armour Baseball Factory Recruiting Classic (Ages 14-18) Jaden is an OF/LHP that will graduate in 2021. In the OF, Jaden shows athletic actions with quick and effective footwork taking a +1st step to the ball with agile range. He works behind and through the ball well fielding with soft and sure hands making quick, clean exchanges. He creates momentum towards his target and delivers good throws.

09/08/2019 - National Tryout Plus - Oak Creek (Milwaukee), WI Jaden is a strong OF/LHP prospect who continues to showcase his skills on the field. In the field, Jaden shows quick footwork and is agile moving to the ball. He gets into an athletic position and fields with soft hands. He makes a clean exchange and gains momentum well on his throws, working to keep them accurate to his target. Long tossing to build up his arm strength can help Jaden improve defensively. At the plate, this LHH sets up in an athletic stance and takes a short stride. He is fluid getting into his load and hits against a strong front side, leading to solid line drives. Jaden can improve as a hitter by taking a level swing path. On the mound, Jaden gathers over the rubber and separates his hands on time.

Breaking ball sits from 63-64mph with 1-7 break. Changeup sits from 65-67mph as he throws with deceptive arm speed. Finishing square to the plate can help Jaden improve as a pitcher. Overall, Jaden is a solid prospect who has the potential to further develop his skills on the field.

11/08/2018 - Baseball Factory Select Training & Competition at Pirate City (Ages 14-18) Jaden is a lean, athletic OF/LHP who will graduate in 2021.

He works to get behind balls but needs to play through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he improves his foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a squared setup.

Control is solid as he attacks hitters and throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to improve as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program.

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).
