08/08/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Cleveland, OH Joaquin’s performance at the All-Ripken event highlights his versatility and strong baseball IQ. Here’s a breakdown of how he can build on his existing skills: Defensive Skills: Fielding Technique and Range: Joaquin’s fielding technique and range are impressive. To further enhance his defensive capabilities, he should focus on maintaining his footwork and quick reflexes. Drills that emphasize lateral movement and quick decision-making can help him cover even more ground effectively. Consistency: Continuing to work on consistency in his defensive approach and practicing under game-like conditions will help solidify his performance. Hitting: Plate Appearances: Consistently putting the ball in play is a strong foundation. To build on this, Joaquin should work on improving his swing mechanics and pitch recognition. Focusing on his approach with two strikes, as well as developing power and contact, will help him become a more complete hitter. Situational Hitting: Practicing situational hitting, like executing sac flies, will further develop his ability to contribute in various game situations. Pitching: Command and Mechanics: Joaquin’s above-average command is a great asset. To maintain and improve his accuracy, working on his mechanics is crucial. Drills that focus on balance, follow-through, and release point can help enhance his control. Regularly reviewing video of his pitching can also provide insights into areas for refinement. Overall Development: Strength and Conditioning: Given his multi-faceted skills, a comprehensive strength and conditioning program will support his performance across all positions. This includes exercises for improving explosiveness, agility, and overall fitness. Joaquin’s well-rounded abilities make him a valuable player with potential for continued growth. By focusing on these areas, he can enhance his contributions on the field and continue to impress scouts and coaches.

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).
