Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 1BPosition Projection

12/27/2009 - Under Armour Recruiting Classic 2009 Justin showed similar skills at the UA Recruiting Classic as he did in Atlanta 10/09. He is a strong built, 1B with good athleticism, instincts, and play skills. His feet and hands play well and he has good defensive mechanics. Justin's arm is accurate, he receives the ball well, and can stretch to get the ball. If Justin can pick out better hops when charging the baseball, and lighten up his feet, already solid numbers can get even better. At the plate, Justin is a powerful, left handed bat. He has good balance, bat speed, and a quality load. Justin's hands are quick, and he will be an impact player at the next level. Hitting can improve with a wider base and by working the baseball to all fields.

10/25/2009 - College PREP - Atlanta, GA Justin is a 1B with a strong looking body that shows projection as he polishes and firms up. Foot speed is average as he will benefit by getting on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness for the next level. Feet are active in coming to get the baseball but needs to be more aggressive in playing through with his feet and hands. He centers to baseball with his body, presenting hands down and out showing a soft, glove action displaying solid average defensive abilities. Arm strength is solid average showing some carry and accuracy on his throws as he needs to get on a strict long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength with carry on throws. At the plate is where Croft shows best displaying near above average abilities with above average power through an aggressive approach. Hands are quick and direct to the baseball, generating bat speed as he shows a feel for the barrel. He has strength in his swing as the baseball jumps off his bat when centered with power best showing to the pull side as he needs to work on keeping hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. Justin has potential and will get looks from the college coaches as he continues to improve.

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).
