John Cackowski
Director of Scouting

PBR Colorado strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across the state. The Prep Baseball Report is the No. 1 resource for high school baseball in each state we cover through our variety of events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work in tandem, ultimately creating the most powerful source of high school baseball promotion in each state.  While other organizations take a national approach, our goal is to become the authoritative voice on the ground level of each state.

Scouting Report

 

1-27-19
Uncommitted. 5-foot-10, 136 pounds. Projectable frame. Open narrow stance with longer stride, and slow load. Dives towards ball at contact. Has some power potential, and more room to fill out for sure. Ball has some pop off bat. Extension is long and through baseball. Bottom hand finish. Produced an 84 mph exit velo off tee. From OF threw 72 mph from over the top arm slot and attacks the baseball. Ran a simulated dry swing 4.3 home to first time.  On the mound has a nice loose arm and does a good job using lower half. Comes from 3/4 arm slot. More velo to come. Fastball was 78-79 mph. Can see potential of an upper 80's fastball. Curve was 61-62 with gradual break from 11/5 shape. Change was thrown 64-65 mph. Player to follow. 

 

 


12-1-18
5-10, 136-pound right hand hitting OF/RHP who ran a 4.15 home to first. Offensively, balanced setup, short stride, simple swing, minimal wasted movement and registered an 77 mph exit velocity from a tee. Defensively, fluid footwork, natural outfield actions, plays through the baseball. Long arm action, ¾ to high ¾ slot and throws topped at 73 mph.
