Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 3B/RHPPosition Projection

06/22/2013 - Omaha National World Series - Session 2 Jimmy showed as a 3B and on the mound for the first time but currently projects best at 3B for the next level. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date, now an above average runner at 7.18. He utilizes his quick feet well in his lateral movement defensively. Hands are soft / clean and work to square balls up. For defensive grade to continue to improve, he needs to present hands more out front. At the plate, Nicholas shows a balanced approach and uses his lower half well with baseball jumping off the bat when centered. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed and he puts the ball into play. At the event, he was 2 for 7, including missing a home run that just went foul. His power improved a lot since we first saw him. On the mound, his breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. Changeup shows fading action but slows arm speed, tipping off pitch to hitters. Control is a plus as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as more arm strength is gained through a long toss program. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable, works hard, and truly is a student of the game.

03/17/2013 - College PREP - Manassas, VA Jimmy is a tall, athletic 3B with a strong lower half that will graduate in 2014. Feet are active as he attacks ground balls and plays through well with his body, displaying clean hands. He needs to present hands more out front and improve foot quickness to continue to improve defensive grade. Throws are accurate as he works to get rid of the baseball quick through a clean transfer / exchange but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, Nicholas shows a solid setup with rhythm. Hands are quick, flashing bat speed through a level swing path. For hitting grades to continue to improve, he needs to work to keeping hands through the ball at contact. Barrel accuracy is a plus with power numbers improving as he learns to use his lower half more. Jimmy has abilities with room to improve.

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).
