Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • CPosition Projection

03/10/2013 - College PREP - Hightstown, NJ Thomas is a solid catcher who switch hit at his last workout in NJ. At the plate, Thomas is currently stronger from the right side showing quick hands, a compact swing, and good bat speed. His swing is level and he uses his lower 1/2. From the left side, Thomas has direct hands to the ball, his balance is solid, and his swing is compact. Not lunging and getting his front foot down sooner will improve hitting. Behind the plate, Thomas has quick feet, sure hands, and he catches in a low position. He moves well laterally, his exchange is clean, and he throws with accuracy and carry to his target. More pre-pitch actions, not stabbing, and work on blocking will raise defensive numbers.

03/11/2012 - College PREP - Hightstown, NJ Thomas is a young catcher with good skills. Behind the plate, Thomas has a wide base, soft hands, and his feet are efficient. He has good flexion, he sticks the ball well, and he takes good angles when blocking. Thomas has a quick / clean exchange, and he throws with a short / quick arm with accuracy and carry to 2nd base. Continuing to quicken his feet and not standing straight up to throw can help solid abilities get even better. At the plate, Thomas has a square set-up, a proper load, and a short / square stride. He has good balance, he throws his hands well, and he makes square contact. Thomas swings in good rhythm, he has a line drive approach, and the ball jumps off his bat when properly centered. Not drifting and using more lower 1/2 can help spike hitting numbers.

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).
