Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • Position Projection

12/27/2014 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 2 Sway is a naturally athletic two-way player (OF/RHP) with some pop off his barrel. He shows an open stance with activated hands giving great bat whip. When he has a "think middle" approach, his bat path is short/direct to contact for pop to all fields. Moving forward, he will do some front toss drill (every other pitch, pitcher hold, for Sway to stay back and have a centered contact point). In the field, Sway attacks the baseball while fielding out in front getting on top of the baseball to the cut-man. On the mound, he is very directional toward the plate with rhythm and balance. He holds runners very well (1.25 to plate) by varying his looks. He repeats his delivery, throwing strikes and giving his defense a chance. Russell is a strong player who should find success on the diamond.

03/09/2014 - College PREP - Hightstown, NJ Sway is a skilled 2-way player in the OF as well as on the mound. With the stick, this RH hitter shows an athletic setup with a solid base. He delivers the barrel quickly with strength to and through the zone. He hits the ball where it's pitched and uses the whole field. More power potential is there with more lower 1/2 drive. In the OF, Sway takes good routes and works into position behind the fly-ball. He has a quick exchange and delivers accurate throws toward his target. On the bump, this RHP has a 4-pitch arsenal coming from a fluid & free arm-action. He gathers well over the rubber and drives off toward the dish. FB cracks the mitt at 82 mph as he has plus command and works it to both sides of the dish. Slider shows to be effective and will get outs. A talented all-around player - Russell is a versatile player who should find success on the diamond.

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).
