01/16/2009 - Under Armour Pre-Season All America - 2009 Trae is a lean athletic player. Behind the plate, Trae shows a strong accurate arm with good footwork. He gets rid of the ball quickly and throws out many of the runners who challenge him. He can get down quickly when blocking balls in the dirt and directs them all around the plate. He knows what he is doing behind the plate. Offensively, Trae has a compact line drive swing. He can go the other way and he is very patient. With some pull side pop, opposing pitchers should be wary of Trae. He should impress a lot of coaches this year.

07/26/2008 - ACR-E - Maryland - 6 Trae improved his velo, pop times, and receiving grades during this event. Behind the plate, made accurate throws that had carry and life. Showed quick exchange which showed with 1.92 pop time. Times will improve when he keeps feet underneath him to throw and doesn't stand up to throw. Gave nice low target for pitcher with quiet actions. Showed firm hands with good elbow flexion. Just needs to square up body with no one on base. Showed athletic actions while taking good angle to block. Kicks back instead of going straight down and uses hands to get up. At SS, had quick release with carry on throws. Kept feet moving and plays thru ball nicely. Moves well laterally and showed good BH plays. Would like to see him follow his throws for better accuracy. Long toss will help improve arm strength and velo. At the plate, had a relaxed and easy swing with ability to repeat it. Had a good load with quick hands that allowed him to drive ball when he centered it. Showed the ability to use all fields. Once he utilizes his lower half better, his hitting grades and overall baseball ability will improve.

12/27/2007 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2007 Weiss is an athletic catcher with a solid build. He ran well again, this time posting 7.11 in the 60-yard dash. He was solid behind the plate, showing improving receiving skills - must work still to better stick pitches on the edges of the zone. At the plate, he stood in well and hit from a mostly balanced approach. His stroke tended to get a bit uphill, he must work to gain more control of the bat head and to work it to contact on a shorter and more direct route. Overall, a great kid with excellent work habits that plays the game hard and with good instincts.

10/21/2007 - ACR-E-Maryland 11 Trae is a football player with a strong compact body. Showed best behind the plate. Showed good, low base with firm hands allowed for good frames. Took good angles to block and centered ball. Would like to see him catch-step-throw instead of catch-stand-throw which will improve release time on throws that are accurate with good carry. At SS, showed hustle with soft hands with decent carry on accurate throws. Would like to see him keep feet moving at all times and field ball out in front. Long toss will improve arm strength and arm speed. At the plate, good setup produced a line-drive approach with use of all fields. Had a good transfer. Cut down the pre-pitch load down to 1 load. Looked mechanical so relaxing himself and raising his hands will improve better path to hitting zone and extension through ball.

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).
