Above average at the plate, the right-handed hitter clocked an exit velocity of 92.25 mph. Begins in an athletic tall stance with an smooth load, then uses a leg kick. Bat speed is average, shows rotational swing plane and good extension on his finish. He produced loud contact and found multiple barrels. Gap to gap approach. Solid showed his live arm in the infield with position velocities up to 89 mph; has sure hands, consistent feet, and a clean exchange. Consistent accuracy to the bases, used a high ¾ slot and a quick arm action. In the 60-yard dash, he clocked a time of 7.34. Projectable on the mound, showing quick arm speed he had a very quick arm action with a ¾ arm angle. Drop-and-drive type pitcher who uses easy effort. Has an athletic balance point with downhill shoulders. Shows a falling off finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 85-87 mph and topped out at 88 mph; showed very consistent command and running action with heavy movement. He shows consistent command and tight action on his 11/5 curveball (73-75). His changeup (77-78) has running action and consistent command. Had consistent control and tight action on his tight slider .

6-foot, 170 pound wiry frame. Athletic. Does a lot of things well on the field. Intriguing two-way guy. Right-handed hitter produces some natural lift with swing path. Present gap power that he flashed with a triple in game play. Posted a 4.41 home to first base time, 87 mph exit velocity off the tee. Good hands and arm strength defensively at 83 across the diamond. Shows good lateral movement and quick release.
Intriguing on the mound with clean arm action. Works the bottom half of the zone and will elevate fastball with two strikes. Occasional arm-side run on 83-84 mph fastball. Sharp downer curveball at 73 mph is effective. Has feel for 72-76 mph changeup with fastball arm speed. Scales has established himself as one of the top players in the 2022 class.
