Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHP/OFPosition Projection

02/12/2023 - National Showcase - St. Petersburg (Tampa), FL RJ is an athletic RHP/OF who showed as a prospect with his baseball abilities. In the OF, defensive abilities are solid as he utilizes his aggressive feet as he takes proper routes/angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls and plays through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he improves foot quickness. Throws are accurate with carry (83 mph velocity) to his target. At the plate, he shows an open setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach. Lower half works well through the swing with an aggressive hip turn. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 77-79 mph with tailing action. Breaking ball displays 11/5 shape with late break and shows as a quality pitch. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action. Cutter has tight spin with short break. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. With 4 years to further develop, RJ has potential with time and room to progress his game.

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).
