07/20/2010 - College PREP - Trenton, NJ Nick is a young two-way player at SS plus on the mound with a small, thin frame that shows projection as he continues to physically mature, filling out. Foot speed is solid as indicated by his 7.25 60 time. Feet are active and aggressive in coming to get, playing through the baseball. He shows a low to high approach with hands and feet working well together in getting rid of the baseball quickly. Glove action is solid displaying soft, clean, and sure hands. Throws show life, carry, and accuracy across the diamond. Offensively, DeFrank shows as a switch hitter that projects best from the right side. From the left side, he shows some rhythm through a solid setup through a level swing path. He cuts his swing off as he needs to work on keeping hands through the baseball. From the right side, set up is solid, flashing bat speed as he maintains bat speed through the point of contact. He shows a solid feel for the barrel with baseball jumping off his bat when centered. On the mound, fastball shows a range of 81-84 mph with some arm side run. Changeup is best off speed pitch, showing a solid feel for with arm side run. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with tight spin and gradual break. With 2 years to further develop, Nick has a lot of potential as he will catch the eyes of the collegiate 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).
