02/20/2022 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Tiverton (Providence), RI Jacob is a young, athletic, 2-way player, who plays catcher and third base. Behind the plate, Jacob sits in squarely, footwork is active, and he presents his glove well. He keeps his thumb under the ball, works around well to block, and covers the five hole. Jacob shows good effort behind the dish, his exchange is clean, and he throws with a short/consistent arm to 2B. Pop times were as low as 2.40 seconds. If Jacob can continue to quicken footwork, and gain more ground, catching skills can get better. In the infield, Jacob has active/efficient footwork, a presentable glove, and he fields the ball squarely. He centers well on his body, his exchange is quick/clean, and he throws with accuracy and carry across the diamond. Abilities at 3B can improve if Jacob can play lower and avoid stabbing at the ball. At the plate, this RHH stands in the box with a crouch stance, he takes a square stride toward the pitcher, and he swings aggressively. Jacob shows fast bat speed, a direct/consistent barrel through the ball, and shows ability to spray the ball to all fields. Continued work on rhythm, hand load, and added use of his lower body will help offensive numbers get even better.
