06/09/2023 - 2023 Baseball Factory All-State Tournament James continues to shine in his baseball abilities at the All-State event. Behind the dish, he presents a soft/sure mitt showing great pocket awareness sticking pitches. He uses his body through the blocking process, centering ball out front. Pop times showed in 2.09 range with accuracy / carry on his throws. At the plate, he continues to shine through an athletic setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields, and strength in his swing with power showing best to the pull side. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn.

12/27/2022 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 2 James continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities. Behind the plate, feet are active as he works in line through a clean transfer / exchange. Pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 2.08 with accuracy to his target. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. He shows a squared setup and presents a soft mitt out front and utilizes his body through the blocking process, centering balls well out front. At the plate, he continues to shine through an open setup. Hands are quick (88 mph exit velocity) and work through level swing path. He makes consistent hard contact and stays inside the ball with gap-to-gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn.

11/06/2022 - Official College Recruiting Membership - St. Petersburg (Tampa), FL James is a young, athletic catcher who will graduate in 2024. Behind the plate, James has quick/fluid footwork, firm/presentable hands, and he sits in well. He has good lateral movements, block and receives well, and throws with strength and accuracy to his target. Pop times were as low as 2.19 seconds to 2nd base. Continued reps and a lower set-up/target will only help catching get even better. At the plate, James has an open/athletic stance, good balance, and he swings in good rhythm. He loads his hands back well, flashes fast bat speed, and is short and direct to the baseball. Hitting can spike with work on barrel accuracy and more lower 1/2.

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).
