09/17/2023 - National Showcase - Beverly Hills (Detroit), MI Neko is a top prospect with improvements in his baseball abilities. At the plate is where he has improved the most, now displaying pro level hitting/power potential through a tall, squared setup. Hands are quick (92 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 to all fields. Lower half works well through the swing as he transfers weight in a firm front side. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. Behind the plate he shows a squared setup and tracks the ball well with a soft glove. He utilizes his body well through the blocking process, centering ball well out front. Pop times have improved as threw his lowest time to date at 2.19 with carry (80 mph velocity) on his throws. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At 3B, defensive abilities are now well above average as he shows smooth/fluid actions. Feet are active as he attacks balls and plays through with his body. Hands are clean and presents well out front. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness.

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).
