07/16/2019 - College PREP - Highland Park (DFW), TX Jacob continues to show improvements in his baseball abilities and he has a promising future on the diamond. At the plate, hitting abilities are now outstanding through an open / athletic setup. Hands are quick (81 mph exit velocity) and work through a level swing path. He shows a feel for the barrel with baseball and has pop in his swing with ball jumping off the bat when centered with power showing best to the pull side. At 1B, he shows smooth / clean actions and good pre pitch movements. Feet are active as he displays proper footwork around the bag and is a quality receiver. He works to square ground balls up, displaying clean hands as he makes the routine plays. Defensive grade will continue to improve as he increases foot quickness and presents hands more out front. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 74 mph. Breaking ball sits from 60-62 mph with 10/4 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with sinking action. He can improve as a pitcher by long tossing to build up his arm strength.
