Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • SS/RHPPosition Projection

07/13/2010 - College PREP - Washington DC, MD James showed good improvements in his game since his last workout in Baltimore. At SS, James improved both is arm and fielding grades from 42 to 45 and 45 to 50, respectively. He has very good, quick footwork and soft / playable hands. He has athletic actions, an early glove, and he works around the ball. James fields the ball out in front of his body and he throws accurately with carry across the diamond. If James can use 2 hands more, and follow his throws to his target, we could see defensive numbers continue to improve. On the mound James has good direction toward the plate, he repeats his delivery well, and he works in good tempo. He gets to his balance point well, has good separation, and has good glove side lead toward home plate. Added physical strength and more use of his lower 1/2 will help mound effectiveness further improve. Offensively, James has a loose grip, solid set-up, and a short stroke. He has good barrel accuracy, a level swing, and he puts the ball in play. Hitting numbers can get better with more aggressiveness, a shorter stroke, and with better use of his lower 1/2.

05/16/2010 - College PREP - Baltimore, MD James is a tall, thin 2-way player that plays 3B and RHP. He currently projects better at 3B than on the mound, but still has time to improve at both positions. Defensively, James presents his glove well, has good footwork, and soft hands. He moves well laterally, has good direction, and a good overall idea. James has a solid backhand and delivers the ball with a short arm action accurately across the diamond. On the mound, James has a quick / loose arm that goes well with his long / lanky frame. He gets good finish and extension with his pitches and looks the part on the hill. If James can stay back longer and add arm strength, his stock on the mound can rise. Offensively, James has good balance, bat speed, and barrel accuracy. He has a level swing, can spray the ball to all fields, and is a line drive hitter. James makes good use of his lower 1/2, and with quicker hands to the inside pitch, already strong offensive grades can get even better.

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).
