Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • C/OFPosition Projection

10/17/2010 - College PREP - Bellevue (Seattle), WA Sawyer continues to show solid improvements in his catching abilities since we saw him last. He lowered his 60 time from 7.56 to 7.22 and increased his radar velocity from 69 to 74 MPH. Sawyer also improved his arm, receiving, and blocking grades during this event. Behind the plate, Sawyer has loose actions, good sway, and shows soft hands. He handles the low pitch well, he looks the ball in, and he blocks the baseball well. Sawyer also lowered his pop times at the event from 2.4 to 2.28. Abilities behind the plate can get better if he can improve his footwork, and work to throw on a downhill plane. In the OF, Sawyer has playable feet and he tracks the ball well. He fields ground balls cleanly, closes on the ball quickly, and has a decent exchange from glove to hand. Sawyer will need to catch on his glove side, and lengthen his arm action in order to improve OF skills. Offensively, Sawyer has a square set-up, short stride, and good balance. He is aggressive to the ball, he has average bat speed, and he is aggressive to the baseball. Sawyer makes consistent contact, he has a level swing, and a line drive approach. Hitting grades can get better if Sawyer can track the ball better and tap into more lower 1/2.

07/31/2009 - Pirate City World Series - Session 1 Sawyer is a young two-way player as a catcher and in the OF with a small, thin frame that shows projection as he continues to physically mature and fill out. Foot speed is near average and he will benefit by getting on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness for the next level. Pop times are in the 2.40-2.55 range. Arm strength is near average and he must get on a strict long toss program to aid in further developing more arm strength, lowering pop times. Receiving skills are near average with average blocking skills with both tools needing further development to be quality skills at the next level. At the plate, Piecewicz is a switch hitter with slightly above average abilities and power from both sides of the plate. He battles and makes consistent hard contact but has some mechanical flaws that are hindering him from reaching his full potential at the plate with grades improving with instruction and adjustments. With 2 years to further develop, Sawyer has abilities with a lot of room 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).
