Official Scouting Report

  • Class Rating
  • OFPosition Projection

01/16/2015 - Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Joel continues to show well on the diamond. At the plate, this lefty shows a balanced approach with simple/quiet actions. Hands get good separation as he drives through with leverage. He turns on the pitch on the inner 1/2, pulling it with pop. He connects and gets out of the box and down the line to 1B quickly, putting pressure on the defense. In the OF, Joel hustles to his right and left with athletic actions covering ground with speed. Transfer/exchange is quick as he fires accurate throws into his cut. This LHH OF'er has skills that will provide success on the diamond.

10/08/2014 - Arizona Senior Fall Classic This versatile lefty has skills and projects as an OF'er. In the OF, he covers a ton of ground with help from his excellent reads. He got behind the ball well, working through to his target with a clean crow hop. At 1B, he showed like a veteran player. His techniques were on point with accurate/hard throws to his targets. He has good bag awareness and can adjust his footwork smoothly at 1B. At the plate, he showed an improved swing with loose/rhythmic actions. He worked gap to gap with the ability to do some damage in any lineup. Joel is a speedy/smart/athletic player that will impress the eyes of some college coaches in his final season.

06/01/2014 - College PREP - Medford (Boston), MA Joel is a talented L/L OF that will graduate in 2015. Defensively, he makes plays with efficient feet and good body control. He has sure hands to field and throws with life. He has good athleticism and looks the part. Working behind and through the ball will increase effectiveness and body momentum - adding even more life. Offensively, he is athletic in his stance, gets activated in launch and stays balanced throughout. He is direct with the barrel and gets good extension through contact. Driving with his lower half and becoming more fluid with his rhythm will increase hit ability. Overall - Joel is a 6.94 runner that has potential to play everyday in CF.

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).
