10/26/2016 - Under Armour SoCal Classic, powered by Baseball Factory's Team One Jake is a strong right handed catcher who will graduate in 2018. Behind the plate, his best asset was his arm (82 mph raw velocity), which was loose and accurate on his throws down to 2nd. His hands worked well when both receiving and blocking, as did his footwork. Offensively, he showed pop to his pull side, as his hands were loaded on time and worked to the baseball quickly. While his hands worked quickly, he at times got around the ball, something that can be easily worked on through repetition of taking shorter swings. Overall, Jake shows great tools on both sides of the ball and will be exciting to track over the next few years.
