01/28/2024 - National Showcase - Myrtle Beach, SC Josh continues show as a prospect with improvements in his baseball abilities. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. At SS, defensive abilities are solid as 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. Throws are accurate with carry (81 mph velocity) across the diamond. He utilizes his foot quickness well in covering a lot of ground. At the plate, he continues to shine, displaying solid hitting / power potential through a closed 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. Overall, Josh is a talented prospect who has the skill set to contribute at the next level.

He utilizes foot quickness (6.88 60 time) in covering a lot of ground.

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).
