11/26/2017 - College PREP - Shreveport, LA Ayden continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and has a promising future on the diamond. Behind the plate, pop times have improved as he threw his lowest time to date at 2.06. Feet are active working in line through a clean transfer/exchange. Times will continue to drop as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and works to get rid of the baseball quicker. Glove action is soft as he sticks balls well in the zone. He uses his body well through the blocking process but needs to get down sooner and improve lateral movement to improve grade. At 2B, defensive abilities have improved as well. Feet are active as he attacks balls and plays through with his body. Hands are soft/clean and he presents well out front. Range is a plus as he moves well laterally and covers a lot of ground. At the plate, hands are quick (88 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach.

01/13/2017 - Baseball Factory Spring Training in Arizona (Ages 14-18) Ayden is a long, lean C/RHP prospect with good baseball instincts and a projectable frame. He is a very solid defensive catcher who has good feel for the game and shows athleticism behind the plate. His feet are active and fluid to get down and block quickly and to pop up and throw down to second (2.08 second pop time). He shows off good lateral agility and soft hands to track the ball and receive inside his body to get strikes for his pitcher. At the plate, he demonstrates a tall, athletic setup with an on time stride and a load to a stacked position. His bat is quick through the zone and direct to the ball, making consistent, hard contact to hit line drives from gap to gap. Keeping his hands moving and in rhythm will lead to better separation, allowing him to react to off speed pitches and become a complete hitter. On the bump, he works downhill from a high 3/4 arm slot and pumps the zone with fastballs up to 76 mph. He has a clean arm stroke with good back arm action and extends through his release to make the ball explode on hitters. Ayden is an exciting prospect who we expect to keep improving as he ages.

01/15/2016 - Baseball Factory National Spring Training at Pirate City Ayden continues to show steady progress in his baseball abilities at the Pirate City event. At SS, he is fundamentally sound, displaying smooth / fluid actions. Feet are active as he works to square balls up and display a quick exchange. Presenting his glove more out in front will help to avoid getting the ‘in between' hop. Continuing to develop his foot speed will help to increase range in the IF. At the plate, he shows an athletic setup. Hands are loose and he works to stay inside the ball, utilizing all fields. On the mound, he shows good mound presence and composure. Fastball showed in the low 70 range. Breaking ball displays 3/9 shape with sweeping action. Getting on a long toss program will help to increase arm strength which will aid in his development on the mound. Ayden has abilities with time and room to improve his abilities.

12/13/2015 - College PREP - Shreveport, LA Ayden is a (6'1"/140) 2-way player as a RHP/SS. On the mound, this righty throws a FB & CB from a high 3/4 arm slot and loose/free arm action. He works to a controlled balance point, has smooth separation and stays directional toward the plate. FB tops out at 75 mph while showing slight run. Curveball has 10/4 shape with 'slider' like action. Driving more of his lower 1/2 off of the rubber downhill toward the plate will help to tap into some added velocity. At SS, Ayden displays active/efficient footwork as he works into a square fielding position. He funnels smoothly and has a clean exchange to throw. DP feeds are accurate as he follows his flip well. Continuing to quicken his footwork will help to increase his lateral range. Offensively, Ayden steps into the box with an aggressive mindset and is looking to swing it. He has rhythm to load and swings on a level path. He barrels the ball up, creating pop on a line. A 2019 grad - Ayden has a ton of upside will still time to develop and physically mature.

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).
