At first, he showed off his soft hands and accurate arm. Not only did he impress in the IF, but he also showed his pop off a little with a 80mph exit velocity. His tall set up, activated load, and center balance would help him make hard contact in all of his rounds. PJ stepped on the mound and showed off his his fastball, topping out at 71mph. His breaking ball also showed well and will continue to develop.

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).
