Scouting Report on Boldt
Garrett Boldt OF/RHP (Olean HS, 2017)
Boldt stands 5-foot-10 145-pounds and is very athletic. On the mound he starts balanced and controlled over the rubber, had good shoulder alignment towards his target, uses a short quick arm action to an over the top arm slot getting downward angle on the ball. His fastball sits consistently 79-82 mph with a 65-67 mph curveball that had 12/6 shape. His changeup runs down and away arm side sitting 66-68 mph.

From the OF he shows great athleticism proven by his 6.78 60 time. He stays behind ball fielding in front, long arm action with good shoulder direction. Above average arm strength for his age at 84 mph with carry and run. At the plate his setup is athletic with elbow up. On the pitch bat stays slightly uphill through the zone with 78 mph exit velocity. Good long extension after contact with shoulder height finish.

Analysis:
Boldt is a great young player with a lot of upside talent. I can see him adding some size this upcoming season and playing a huge role on the Olean HS Baseball team. After attending our Upstate Underclass Games, Boldt was on the top of his game having the top outfield Velocity (84 mph) as well as top 60-yard dash time (6.75). He is an athletic outfielder you’ll want to look out for this upcoming spring.
