At the plate, he used an athletic set up with smooth timing to make consistent contact. He has a strong lower half which helps him drive the barrel through the zone with good bat speed to produce loud contact. On the hill, he had good mechanics by gathering over the rubber and separating on time to throw strikes. He worked a 3 pitch mix of fastball (73mph), breaking ball with 11/5 action and a change up with gradual sink.

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).
