12/20/2016 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 1 Jacob is a solid athlete who brings energy and a positive attitude to the field every day. He showed very well during his time at Pirate City. He is a leader behind the dish and takes charge of the defense when he's on the field. He sits in well with flexion and tracks pitches into a soft mitt, framing well. He shows his quickness and athleticism with balls in the dirt, moving well laterally to center & block them off of his chest. Throws to 2B are on the bag with pop times now at 2.10. With the bat, Simons steps into the box looking to swing it. He remains balanced throughout, takes an aggressive hack and barrels the ball up with some pop. He battles and proved to be a tough out, going 4 for 6 with 3 singles and a triple. He is a very coachable player who makes adjustments quickly. Jacob is a talented all-around player who has a very bright future ahead of him in the game.
