Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHP/OFPosition Projection

06/18/2023 - National Showcase - Fresno, CA John is an athletic RHP/OF who will graduate in 2027. In the OF, he displays smooth / fluid actions. He takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind needs to play through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he improves his foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a squared 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 shows a range of 62-65 mph with tailing action. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with tailing action. Control is solid as he throws strikes with all his pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and throws more strikes. With 4 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).
