Official Scouting Report

  • SS/RHPPosition Projection

12/20/2024 - Baseball Factory Pirate City Holiday Experience RJ continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities on the diamond. Foot speed has improved as he ran his best 60 time to date. At 3B, defensive abilities are solid as he shows smooth / fluid actions. Feet are active as he attacks ball and plays through with his body. Hands are clean but needs to present more out front. At the plate, hitting / power potential has improved through a squared setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He shows a feel for the barrel with gap-to-gap pop. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. On the mound, his arm strength has improved, reaching his highest velocity to date at 70 mph. His fastball sits in the 64-70 mph range, complemented by a breaking ball with a 11/5 shape and gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup but needs to develop more movement. Stock on the mound will rise further as he continues to build arm strength through a long toss program.

12/29/2023 - National Showcase - New Orleans, LA RJ is a 2027 RHP/3B. Starts with a good prep step and works right to left. He fields from a square fielding position with hands out front. Shows a low funnel and keeps his feet moving through the throwing process. He hits from a closed stance. Starts with a short and square glide step with fluid timing. He hits into a firm frontside and keeps barrel flat in the hitting zone. A right-handed pitcher he shows a compact arm stroke and is around the plate with all of his pitches. Lands square to his target and gets his chest to his glove. He works off of a FB that sits 61-63mph. He mixes in an 11/5 shaped breaking ball with good depth and a developing changeup. RJ is a young developing player who should have a bright future with continued growth and development.

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).
