Maryland Scout Blog: Catonsville - Dulaney & Broadneck - North County
April 16, 2019
The Maryland High School Scouting Blog provides insider information and scouting notes from the PBR Staff. This running blog will feature information on a wide variety of uncommitted talent as well as updates on committed and ranked players, as well as draft prospect. We will provide a wide range of information, including player evaluations, velocity, pop times, home to first times, and more. This running blog is continuously updated throughout the high school season and then also throughout the year and you will see what boots-to-the-ground really means.
State Scout blogs are one of the most highly viewed pages on the PBR website. It is a tribute to our never ending quest of discovering talent across our area of coverage and our boots-to-the-ground approach to scouting.
So what is better than being in a scout blog? Having a PBR profile to connect you with. Find our next event near you.
Catonsville
Mark Brady SS Catonsville 2020
Athletic body type and plenty of room to fill out frame. Was solid defensively at shortstop with clean actions around the bag. Hits from a balanced stance at the plate with a small leg kick load. Creates nice hand separation and showed some bat speed. Used the whole field going 3-for 4 with 2 RBI's against Dulaney from the two hole. Level swing path with nice lower half involvement. Line drive type hitter with some strength and power present. Interesting under the radar uncommitted 2020.

Struggled at the plate against Dulaney early on but showed strength and power driving one out to left center field for a double off the fence. Short, uphill swing path with nice extension through contact. Big time outfield prospect to look at in the 2021 class.
