07/08/2018 - College PREP - Portland, OR Jacob is an athletic OF/RHP that continues to improve his game. In the field, Jacob shows active feet that allow him to gain ground and make difficult plays, an improvement from passed events. He gets into a square fielding position as he presents his hands out front of his body and plays through the ball. He makes clean exchanges into a loose arm action (3/4 arm slot) and throws the ball on a line with momentum. Jacob can improve defensively by implementing a throwing progression to improve accuracy. At the plate, Jacob shows a lot of pull side power through a line drive approach. He has a tall set up with a short stride, fast bat speed and makes consistently hard contact with the ball. Jacob can improve at the plate by utilizing more of his hips and lower half, as well as keeping his head on the ball. On the mound, Jacob displays three pitches (FB, CB and CH) and continues to show decent mechanics. He gathers over the rubber with good separation, shows a free, downhill 3/4 arm action and controls his landing. His fastball has made a jump from 75mph to 84mph. Curveball has improved as he now gets on top of the pitch, giving it an 11/5 shape. Jacob can improve on the mound by staying direct to his target and extending through the zone upon release. Jacob is a very good player that can make in impact at the next level with some more development.
