I didn’t know it at the time, but what I thought was a productive run through Southern California scouting players for the 2014 Under Armour All-America Game would end up even more successful nearly a year-and-a-half after I returned home. I flew across the country on a Friday morning in April 2014, and was at […]
We first saw Kyle Hurt as a 5-foot-6 145 pound rising 7th-grader at the August 2011 Under Armour Baseball Factory Interactive Video Program in La Jolla, CA. At the time, he was a two-way player that played 1B when he wasn’t pitching. He topped at 71 mph that day, and showed a loose arm along […]
Maximum exit velocity was recorded as part of the Easton HitLab station, where teams reported on either Saturday or Sunday depending on their schedule. Many players took advantage of the opportunity both days, with several marking improvements in their exit velocity from one day to the next. Maximum exit velocities shown below have been rounded […]
In January 2015, 6-foot-3 and 210 pound Jack Conlon fit the “power arm / power bat type two-way guy” profile with his performance at the Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament — a performance that earned him Top 10 honors among 2017 graduates. If you clicked the link and read the associated scouting report, you’ll see […]
Pop times were recorded during the defensive workout, and as much as possible on the game fields between innings and in live situations. The class of 2017 accounted for all seven sub-1.9 pop times we saw over the course of the defensive workouts on Saturday and Sunday. Kyle Harper (Houston, TX) posted 1.81 for the second […]
Cole showed a well-rounded set of tools at the November 2014 Under Armour Baseball Factory National Tryout in Tomball, TX, his first event with us. He was a two-way player at the time, with a nice left-handed stroke to go with 6.75 speed in the 60 yard dash and an 85 mph fastball — all advanced for a […]
Pitchers took the mound live in games, facing a controlled number of hitters in each frame over the course of outings scheduled for between two and three innings. Since high school baseball in some states was set to begin Monday, January 18, we saw arms at varying degrees of readiness — with the warmer weather arms […]
When we first saw Cole in June 2013 as a rising freshman, he was a shortstop. He remained in the infield through three events with us in 2014 before showing in the outfield for the first time in March 2015, by which time his 60 yard dash had improved from 7.21 to 6.85. By the July […]
Players ran the 60 yard dash as part of their workout rotation (along with batting practice, defensive workout and athletic testing) on either Saturday or Sunday, depending on the schedule for their team. We saw half of the players run Saturday, followed by the other half on Sunday. We ran on a well-manicured grass surface, and timed runners […]
During this year’s Baseball Factory All-America Pre-Season Rookie Tournament, Roy Halladay sat front row in the bleachers to watch his son Braden compete in the same type of event that he once did. Roy has a special place in Baseball Factory history, part of the first wave of talent to participate in the 1994 Team […]
