Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • RHP/OFPosition Projection

12/27/2010 - Christmas Camp and Tournament 2010 - Session 2 Taylor showed well on the mound during the Christmas Camp with his good size and solid build. He increased his radar velocity to 81 MPH and pounds the zone with strikes. Zach shows a tight 12-6 CB, good balance, and a solid / athletic finish. In the OF, Zach has a good 1st step, he reads the ball off the bat well, and he works around it. He plays through ground balls, gathers himself well, and throws with accuracy to his target. At the plate, Zach tracks the ball well, his swing is level, and he stays through the ball. He makes solid contact and can hit to all fields. Zach went 5 for 11 in live at bats.

10/17/2010 - College PREP - Sauget (St. Louis), IL Zach is a lanky, RHP that showed solid improvements since his last workout in Council Bluffs. On the mound, Zach has good separation, good direction toward the plate, and he repeats his delivery well. He has some deception and life on his FB and he makes good use of his lower 1/2. His off-speed pitches show promise and he competes in the zone with all of them. Abilities on the mound can get better if Zach can keep his eyes to his target longer, stay closed, and add arm strength. Offensively, Zach improved both his hitting and power grades from 40's to 45's. He has a square set-up, short stride, and good balance. He keeps a still head, has a compact / level swing, and he makes hard contact to the pull side. Looser actions and added physical strength will only continue to help numbers 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).
