01/16/2009 - Under Armour Pre-Season All America - 2009 Jake showed a good feel in his workout over at 3B. Solid exchange and a good, accurate arm. Aggressive footwork and soft hands. Arm strength can improve, but a good idea overall at 3B. At the plate, his prep work is good, and his path is short, direct and level. He can loosen up and let the ball travel deeper into the zone. Had a hit in 4 at bats at the Tucson event.

12/27/2008 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2008 McGuiggan showed a free and easy right handed stroke with good bat speed and barrel accuracy. His path was level, and he worked the barrel to contact from the inside well. Has a great foundation to build on as he adds strength, at which point he should really advanced offensively. Defensively, he showed soft hands and a good feel for hops. Though his arm is solid, he can work to improve it for the left side of the infield. Ran 7.97, quite a bit off the previous 7.40 we saw in the 60-yard dash.

10/26/2008 - College PREP - Marlborough (Boston), MA Jake continued to show his consistency and hard work on the field. At the plate, had a balanced approach with a fluid swing. Quick hands led to decent extension thru ball at contact. Showed the ability to use a wooden bat throughout the workout. Starting in a good hitting position will allow him to utilize his lower half. Being on time to hitting zone will increase barrel accuracy. At SS, had good pre-pitch movement and ready position. Showed the ability to center ball and play thru it aggressively. Long toss will help improve arm strength and velocity.

07/17/2008 - Cape Cod Training 2008 - Week 2 McGuiggan ran 7.40 in the 60-yard dash, an improvement from the 7.53 we saw from him previously. At the plate, he showed quick hands and good barrel accuracy - a combination that allowed him to show gap power. He handled himself well in clutch situations. Can work to avoid slight loop after trigger, will help him avoid tendency to let his barrel drop at times. Defensively, he showed smooth actions and soft sure hands. His exchange and release were quick and his throws had on line carry to the target. Can work to quicken his feet, and needs to make sure to use overhand release more often. Overall, has made good progress - is developing himself into a solid college prospect.

12/27/2007 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2007 McGuiggan is a smart player with solid overall skills. Showed a compact stroke at the plate along with good hand-eye coordination. Can work to simplify his load and to stay back longer with his lower half. Showed soft hands in the infield along with good range and versatility - ability to play both SS and 3B. Can work on overall speed and quickness, along with arm strength for left side of the infield.

07/12/2007 - Cape Cod Training 2007 - Week 1 Jake displayed excellent hands and exchange at 3B. Jake has a natural, smooth right handed stroke with good bat speed. Needs to continue to get stronger and develop some more quickness in his feet. Jake has proved himself to be a future impact player at the college level. 6/20/2007 - Omaha - Compact swing, has good approach and is aggressive. Improve overall strength and speed.

12/27/2006 - Christmas Camp and Tournament - 2006 Easy stroke with occasional pop. Has good instincts. Needs overall strength .

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).
