08/02/2011 - Vero Beach Pro Select Training and Competition - 2011 (Pre-HS) Jake is an athletic 2017 graduate who plays SS. He throws from a low 3/4 arm slot and has a long/loose arm action. As a fielder Jake displayed quick feet with agile/playable range. He is a very athletic fielder but has a tendency to be overaggressive. If Jake works at a more controlled approach his athleticism will work for him and make him a great fielder. At the plate he showed an athletic/square stance, short stride, hands back/smooth (hitch) load, balance is centered and his lower half gets through. Also Jake showed fluid rhythm, he is on time and has a level swing path. As he gets stronger his hitting will greatly improve. Jake has a lot of potential but he needs to work hard at his baseball fundamentals. If he can match his baseball skills with his athleticism he will be a very good player.
