FACTORY SCOUTING REPORT San Diego, CA Video Clips Available
EVENT DATE: 1/29/06
EVENT TYPE: B.A.T.S. Video Scouting Session & PUMA National Tournament Team Tryout
LOCATION: UC San Diego
TOP PROSPECTS
The Top Prospects were selected by Dan Mooney (Assistant Director of Scouting) and Jim Gemler (Director of On Field Sessions).
We often see players at several events over the course of a year. We enjoy getting more chances to interact with players, as well as the additional opportunities to see how the player has progressed and developed since we last saw him.
In this case, we saw Jared Bowser for the second time in January 2006. You may have seen him listed as one of the Top Prospects at our Tucson, AZ event on 1/16/06, and you will see his name below as well. He showed even better here in San Diego than he did in Tucson, his fastball topped out 3 mph higher and his Split finger pitch had even sharper action.
We select and list players at the position(s) where we feel they will be the best college prospects. This may result in a player being listed at a position he did not play when we saw him, or having a position he did play go unlisted.
2006 and 2007 graduates were selected based on their potential to be recruited at the college level – or to put it simply, as college prospects.
2008 and 2009 graduates were selected based on how they rate against players of their same graduating class – this serves as the beginnings of a projection of their status as college prospects.
As is always the case, there are players not listed below that will be recruited and will go on to have successful college careers. The list below is not intended to recognize the only prospects at the event, it is intended to identify the top prospects.
Video Clips are available for players that participated in the B.A.T.S. Program.
