Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • SS/RHPPosition Projection

12/10/2023 - National Showcase - Gambrills, MD John is an athletic SS/RHP who will graduate in 2028. At SS, he displays clean / smooth actions. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork as he works to square ground balls and plays through with his body. Glove action is clean but needs to present more out front. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. At the plate, he shows an athletic setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 65-67 mph with arm side run. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. Slider resembles breaking ball. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. With 5 years to further develop, John has potential with time and room to progress his game.

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).
