02/23/2020 - National Tryout Plus - Waco, TX Jacob is an athletic and talented 2023 2-way prospect. At SS, Jacob is on time with his prep step, he presents a low/early glove, and he plays through the ball. He has a clean exchange and he makes accurate throws from multiple arm angles. On double plays, he has good turns off the bag and he makes efficient feeds. At the plate, Jacob starts in an open stance, he loads his hands back into the drive position, and he attacks the inside part of the ball. On the bump, Jacob gathers over the rubber, he finds a balance point, and he rides his back leg down hill. He gets late movement on his fastball, he has good bite on the breaking ball, and he throws his changeup down in the zone for strikes. Jacob is highly motivated and we hope to see his progress in the future.
