Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • 2B/SSPosition Projection

06/28/2008 - ACR-E - Maryland - 4 Dino is a hard working SS who gave maximum effort in everything he did and improved arm, fielding,and hitting grade. At SS, had an accurate arm with loose actions. Kept feet moving along with soft hands lead to the ability to get rid of ball cause of a quick exchange. Long toss will increase arm strength which is necessary for the SS position at next level. Would also like to see him follow his throws instead of stopping or falling back. Fielding the ball more out in front will help eliminate any glove flipping that occurs. At the plate, is relaxed with good rhythm and easy actions which allowed him to center ball often. Showed ability to use all fields with strength to right center. Improving overall strength will help with lower half explosion and raw power grade. Looks the part in everything he did and would be a good #2 hole hitter.

12/27/2007 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2007 Balesano consistently reached a good launch position, and maintained good balance throughout his stroke. His route was short to contact, and he had great plate coverage. Can improve lower half usage, some by a slight change in his setup - square back foot, rather than letting toes point to umpire. In the infield, he setup well and showed great footwork. His hands were soft and his exchange was solid. Can improve agility and overall range. Arm strength is among his biggest areas for improvement.

10/21/2007 - ACR-E-Maryland 11 Dino brought a good foundation of the game to the field. At the plate, has the ability to use all fields. Shows quick hands and bat speed with a good use of lower half and good transfer for power. Would like to see him square up his back foot for better use of lower half and also keeps hands high. Would drop hands which made him come around ball. In the INF, smooth glove with soft hands lead to quick release. Would stay low to field ball with hands out front. Would like to see agility and foot speed improve so he can keep feet moving at all times and take good angles.

12/27/2006 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2006 Showed signs of pop at the plate. Solid player all around.

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).
