Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHP/3BPosition Projection

01/15/2010 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America - 2010 TJ showed similar skills at the UA Preseason All-America as he did bat in 10/09. He is a young, 2-way player that continues to project as a Collegiate player at both positions. At 3B, TJ's hands and feet play well, and he has loose actions. He plays in rhythm, his hands are soft, and he makes plays on balls hit his way. Added strength and more lower 1/2 will help his defensive ability further improve. On the mound, TJ has good arm swing and he gets good extension. He pitches to contact, throws strikes, and fields his position well. A closed front side, and more leg drive should help add velocity and help command. Offensively, TJ has good balance and bat speed. He gets proper extension to and through the ball and has a level swing plane. If TJ can be more direct to the ball, and use more lower 1/2 in his swing, we could see offensive grades pick up.

08/23/2009 - College PREP - Oklahoma City, OK TJ is a RHP/3B with a beautiful tall, lean build. As a P, TJ has a nice long arm delivery; he gets good extension out front, and has potential to be very good with his tall frame. To become an even better P, Looney needs to eliminate his shoulder tilt to avoid flying offline to his target, and needs to get more of a downward plane and movement on his FB. At 3B, TJ moves laterally well and plays hard. He would benefit from shortening is arm stroke for quicker throws, softening up his hands when fielding, and becoming more fluid in his actions. At the plate, Looney shows good balance, he gets loaded for power, and has good bat speed allowing for good pop. He would become an even better hitter by shortening up his swing, by allowing the ball to travel more, and by using more top hand to drive the ball more effectively.

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).
