Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 1B/LHPPosition Projection

01/15/2021 - 2021 Baseball Factory Pre-Season All-America Tournament (TX) William is an athletic 1B/LHP who has a promising future on the diamond. At 1B, defensive abilities are solid as he displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. Hands are soft / sure and he showed the ability to pick balls out of the dirt, saving throws. Feet / hands work well together as he gets rid of the baseball quickly with accuracy / carry on his throws. He moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground. At the plate, power potential is well above average through a tall setup. Hands are quick generating bat speed (83 mph exit velocity) through an aggressive swing path. Barrel accuracy is a plus and he has strength in his swing with gap to gap pop. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 69-74 mph. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with slight sink. Stock on the mound will continue to improve as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. William has potential and will get looks from the college coaches as he continues to progress his game.

12/12/2015 - Interactive Video Program - Westlake Village, CA William is a young, 2-way player (LHP/1B) who graduates in 2022. On the mound, this lefty throws a FB & CH from a 3/4 arm slot. He works to a controlled balance point and separation is smooth as he stays directional toward the dish. FB ranges from 34-38 mph while changeup ranges from 30-33 mph. At 1B - William hustles into a square fielding position tracking the GB into his mitt. He secures the ball and gathers well. With the bat, William stands in well with good balance waiting for his pitch. He barrels the ball up and works to drive the middle of the field. Overall abilities in his game will improve with work on the following.

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).
