01/14/2022 - 2022 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament (FL) Jack is a 2023 SS out of Latham, NY who showcased his skills at the Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-American Tournament. Ran his 60-yard dash in 6.99 seconds. At SS, he starts with a good prep step, with efficient feet, and ability to cover ground. Creates good fielding angles as he works from right to left and gets his eyes behind his glove. Showed good glove action as he fields from a square fielding position with a low funnel. Throws from a 3/4 arm slot with on-line throws across the diamond and an arm velocity of 87mph. Showed good touch on his DP feeds. At the plate, this right-handed hitter begins with an athletic and even stance. Keeps weight between his knees, with activated hands, and has a fast barrel through the hitting zone. A direct barrel path enables him to hit line drives to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 82mph. In live game action, he reached multiple times and showed good plate discipline. With another year and a half of continued growth and development, we foresee Jack having opportunities to play at the next level.

09/12/2021 - All-In Membership - Troy (Albany), NY Jack is an athletic RHH MIF that shows as a top prospect on the diamond. A leadoff type - hands are quick (82 mph exit velocity) as he squares the ball up consistently driving it on a line. Defensively, he takes a quick first step (6.75 time) and has plus lateral range. He creates angles around the GB with fluid actions. DP turns are quick with zip (84 mph velocity) on his throws. Defensive abilities are excellent as he shows big play potential. John has a ton of upside and possesses the skill-set that will play at a high level.

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).
