EVERY SCOUT HAS A FAVORITE BALLPARK The Scouting Classroom: Stories Behind the Report #62 Some places felt like home People often ask me what my favorite ballpark was after twenty years of Major League scouting. That’s a harder question to answer than most people realize. It would be like asking a parent to pick a favorite child. Every ballpark represents a different chapter of my baseball life. Every hotel, restaurant, and familiar drive back to the stadium carries memories that go far beyond the games. Over time, they become woven together until you remember the people as much as the baseball. In Utah, my heart was always pulled toward two places. BYU and Utah Valley Utah Valley was home. It was my alma mater, and every trip back to Orem brought back memories of wearing a Wolverine uniform. The stadium wasn’t there when I played, but it became another chapter of my career. In 2005 and 2007, I served as a special assignment hitting coach for the Orem Owlz, helping win two Pioneer League championships alongside one of baseball’s greatest minor league managers, Tom Kotchman, who finished with 2,034 wins and eleven championship rings. Sitting beside him every day was a baseball education I’ll always cherish. BYU held a different place in my heart. From a scouting perspective, it was one of the most beautiful college ballparks in the country. The scenery, sightlines, and angles for evaluating players were second to none. Just as memorable was the Provo Marriott. During my scouting years and during the Owlz summers, it became a second home. The front desk staff knew my name, and the restaurant employees knew my routine. It felt less like checking into a hotel and more like coming home. Arizona gave me another home. Old Packard Stadium at Arizona State was where I made my Division I coaching debut with Southern Utah U, against legendary coach Jim Brock, and then Pat Murphy, where also years later it became a place where I’d reconnect as a scout with my good friend, the now Brewers manager. Every visit reminded me of the incredible tradition that flowed through that ballpark. Just a few miles away sat another place I’ll never forget. The Mesa Marriott As a minor leaguer with the Angels during Spring Training, it was home. Years later, as an Angels scout and then a Brewers scout, I found myself staying there again and again. Few places connected every chapter of my baseball life as a player, coach, and scout. The same was true of the Anaheim Marriott Suites. For nearly twenty years, many of the same employees greeted me with, “Welcome back, Mr. Scholzen. How are the Angels, or later, the Brewers going to be this year?” Those weren’t just greetings. They were friendships built one road trip at a time. People assume scouting is about finding players. It is. But it’s also about the people you meet while chasing those players—the hotel staff who asked about your family, the waitress who knew your breakfast order, the clubhouse manager who saved you a lineup card, and the coach who always made time after the game. I’ve now been away from professional scouting for six years, and if I’m honest, I miss those familiar faces just as much as I miss the ballparks. The places stay with you because of the people you met there. #BehindTheRadarGun 🔎

THE PLAYER WHO NEVER KNEW I WAS THERE The Scouting Classroom: Stories Behind the Report #61 The best evaluation was often the one the player never noticed. Most people think a scout’s evaluation begins when he sits behind home plate with a radar gun and stopwatch. The truth is, it usually begins long before first pitch. When I first started scouting in 1999, there was no internet to check pitching rotations or game schedules. If you wanted to know when a high school or college pitcher was throwing, you picked up the phone. Coaches would often record the week’s rotation on their office voicemail after hours, and scouts would call late at night just to hear who was scheduled to pitch. Today, every scouting territory has a group email system where coaches, players, and parents send weekly schedules, pitching rotations, lineup updates, injuries, and last-minute changes. Information reaches the scouting community almost instantly. The downside is that players now know there’s always a chance scouts will be at the ballpark. The challenge then becomes trying not to be noticed. That’s easier said than done because scouts naturally stand out. A radar gun, stopwatch, notebook, and a row of unfamiliar faces behind home plate aren’t exactly subtle. But every once in a while, an opportunity presented itself. A handful of times each year I’d intentionally schedule a look at a player during a game that wasn’t expected to draw many scouts. No marquee matchup. No tournament championship. Just another Tuesday or Wednesday afternoon baseball game. Those days were priceless. If I was evaluating a position player, I could often find a spot away from the crowd—behind a building, along a fence line, tucked into empty bleachers, or anywhere I could quietly observe from a distance. It almost became a reconnaissance mission. I wasn’t hiding from the player as much as I was trying to watch him before he realized someone was watching him. Pitchers were different. To do the job correctly, you needed to be behind the backstop with the radar gun. Position players, however, occasionally gave you the rare opportunity to observe something far more valuable than measurable tools. You got to see the real person. Most players change, even if only slightly, when they know a scout has arrived. They run a little harder. They become more vocal. They try to show leadership. They play to the audience. That’s human nature. The unguarded moments were where the real evaluation lived. I watched players during stretching, batting practice, infield, and the quiet moments before first pitch. I watched how they interacted with teammates, listened to coaches, handled failure, celebrated someone else’s success, and responded when nothing centered around them. • How did he prepare? • Did he compete when things weren’t going well? • How did he react after striking out or making an error? • Did teammates naturally gravitate toward him? • Was he coachable when corrected? Those moments never appeared in a box score, but they almost always found their way into my report. A player can control his actions for an inning or two. It’s much harder to hide his habits over the course of an entire day. The conversation mattered. The workout mattered. The game mattered. But sometimes the most valuable evaluation happened before the player ever knew I was there. Because in those moments, I wasn’t just scouting the prospect. I was scouting the person. For twenty years in professional baseball, I learned that tools may get a player drafted, but habits, character, and makeup often determine whether he reaches the Major Leagues. Sometimes the clearest picture of a player’s future comes when he doesn’t know anyone is watching. The truest evaluation often happens before the player realizes he’s being evaluated. #BehindTheRadarGun 🔎
