Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • Position Projection

05/28/2020 - 2020 Under Armour Showcase: Baseball Factory's National South James is an exciting and unique prospect with loud tools and an extremely high ceiling. His has a large 6'6"/215-pound frame with long levers and somehow manages to utilize the leverage there while still maintaining a short swing. The ball flies off his bat at the plate from an easy left-handed stroke producing loft power to all fields. James also has good strike zone judgement at the plate along with a slow heartbeat that allows him to be relaxed and confident in all situations. Defensively, he has natural OF actions, good hands and a strong arm - a recipe for a RF profile (ran a 6.91 in the 60). James even jumped on the mound and struck out the first 4 hitters he faced with a 3-pitch mix including a fastball up to 91 mph. Overall, this is a potential high impact bat at higher levels who will garner a ton of attention in the next year.

09/01/2019 - College PREP - Bel Air (Baltimore), MD James is a tall/solid, 2-way player who plays OF and RHP. Defensively, James has active feet, tracks the ball well off the bat, and makes plays consistently. He has athletic actions, a clean exchange, and throws with accuracy and plus arm strength to his cut off man. Catching a little higher and staying lower on ground balls will only help solid defensive skills get better. On the mound, James has a quick/clean arm circle, good balance over the rubber, and separates his hands on time. He works well to his balance point, has a controlled landing toward home, and competes in the zone. A better finish and more lower body will improve mound effectiveness. At the plate, James is a solid hitter with an athletic setup, good balance, and a rhythmic swing. He has fast bat speed, makes hard/consistent contact, and uses his lower body.

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).
