Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 1B/OFPosition Projection

06/05/2011 - College PREP - Atlanta, GA Brandon is a thin, athletic two-way player at 1B plus in the OF that will graduate in 2012. Foot speed is near above average as indicated by his 7.37 60 time. He will benefit by getting on a speed / agility program to improve foot quickness for the next level. At 1B, he shows proper footwork around the bag but must be more aggressive in coming to get and playing through ground balls with his body. In the OF, he makes the routine plays but needs to work on taking proper routes / angles in tracking down balls in working to get behind to play through with momentum to his target. Throws are accurate, flashing life in his arm action but will benefit by getting on a long toss program to aid in building more arm strength with carry. Offensively, Gaither shows a balance approach and tracks the ball well with baseball jumping off his bat when centered. He has some mechanical flaws that are hindering him from reaching his full potential with grades improving quickly with instruction and adjustments at the plate. Brandon has abilities with a lot of room to 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).
