Live Looks: UCSB @ Campbell

College baseball has returned to the world, and in turn, so has our coverage! But in 2024, I wanted to try something new. It was a chore to write up reports in 2023 with how busy life became, so I opted to change how I write these live look pieces and find an easier way to convey our thoughts to the public. The plan in 2024 is to present our writing in report form, utilizing a scouting report template to give readers an idea of how we scout at the field and to free up our busy lives. In this piece, you’ll see an image of a report, followed by the film from the game/weekend. Beneath the video, you’ll find a draft grade, where we place an idea of where this player will be taken. I hope you enjoy this new format!
