Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHPPosition Projection

12/06/2020 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Lynwood (Chicago), IL Nathan is an athletic RHP who has a promising future on the mound. On the mound, delivery is sound / repeatable as he shows good tempo through a strong balance point, allowing his arm action to work quick and free to the plate. Fastball shows a range of 82-85 mph with tailing action. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with late break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with slight sink. Command / control is solid as he locates well to both sides of the plate. At the plate, he continues to shine displaying solid hitting abilities with well above average power potential through an open setup. Hands are quick (87 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength in his swing and shows a feel for the barrel with power showing best to the pull side. Nathan has an upside on the mound and will get looks from the collegiate coaches with his baseball abilities.

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).
