SCOUTING REPORT
VA/DC Scout Blog
Stands around 5-foot-11/6-foot with a projectable athletic frame. O'Ferrell has a solid set of tools and the ability to play both positions up the middle. Shows nice range defensively with soft hands and above average arm strength. At the plate hits from the right side with a balanced athletic stance that starts square and finishes slightly open. Small leg lift and hands load back in rhythm and swing is short to the ball. Bat path is slightly uphill and showed gap to gap power potential. Runs really well and can stretch plays for an extra base if needed. Was one of the big offensive standouts for St. Chris on the week and sets the table for the Saints in the leadoff position.
