12/27/2015 - Baseball Factory Winter Classic - Session 2 Jake is a hardworking, coachable player who is a ‘team first' type guy. On the mound, arm strength has improved as he threw his top velocity to date at 72 mph. He shows good mound presence and composure. Fastball shows good tailing action. Breaking ball displays 1/7 shape with depth. Control is a plus as he attacks hitters and throws strikes with all his pitches. At 1B, he is a solid receiver, displaying clean hands and proper footwork around the bag. Abilities at 1B will improve as he develops his foot speed and works to present his glove to field the GB more out in front. At the plate, he shows a squared / balanced setup. Hands are loose and work through a level swing path. He makes consistent contact through a line drive approach, mainly to the pull side. Power numbers will increase as he utilizes his lower half more. With 5 years to further develop, Jake has an upside on the mound and will be a sure player to follow.
