Zach Boraski
North Carolina Assistant Scouting Director

NC in the National Rankings is a unique look through the eyes of Prep Baseball scouts, allowing players, fans, and coaches to get to know some of the top players in the state of North Carolina who have gained national recognition.  National Rankings are updated almost quarterly, as players are transitioning from one season to another.  Prep Baseball scouts will use the information they gain from Prep Baseball events, Prep Baseball Tournaments, game coverage, workouts, and practices to put grades on as many players in the state as possible.

Scouting Report

2/11/24

CJ Gray, A L Brown High (NC), 2025 North Carolina State
Positional Profile: SS/RHP Excellent athlete. Advanced mover. Clean arm that is super quick. Around the zone enough to dream on control. Stuff will present issues for most high school catchers to receive now.
Body: 6-1, 193-pounds. Long and lean.
Delivery: 3B Side. Side saddle with a preset pivot step. Small rocker with hesitation and rhythm before lifting to the mid-chest with a toe lift and then bringing the knee toward the back shoulder. Quick, oily hips. Level, loads the backside, working on-line and landing in-line with a square foot strike. Athletic mover.
Arm Action: RH. Electric arm speed with a medium arm swing and natural scapular retraction. Athletic arm. Elite arm speed.
FB: T93, 91-93 mph. Firm. Plays with arm side run. Around the zone. Lacked feel to any one spot. T2509, 2441 average rpm.
CB: 75-76 mph. Heavy sweep with excellent arm speed. Has length with 10/4 tilt. T2517, 2406 average rpm.
CH: 80-84 mph. 3rd pitch. Shows promise. Solid arm speed. T1945, 1834 average rpm.
ATH: 1.67 and 3.82 in the 10 and 30 yard splits. 32.20 max vertical.
