Scouting Report: The Scout

I'm an aspiring scout and scouting analyst with six years inside professional baseball. As a Technology Coach in the Chicago Cubs organization, I work at the intersection of traditional scouting and player-development technology: producing internal scouting analysis, running advance work on opposing pitchers, and translating Trackman, Hawkeye, and KinaTrax data into adjustments a player can actually use.

In 2025 I was selected for MLB's Scout Development Program at the Arizona Fall League, where I filed pro reports on live looks — the reports below are the real product of that work. Add in two-plus years of video scouting used by all 30 MLB organizations, and the profile is simple: a present-day evaluator with the tools, reps, and reporting experience to project into a full-time scouting role.
