03/03/2013 - College PREP - Austin, TX In Jake's most recent Factory outing, he showed even more improvements in his playing ability. The 6'/190 lbs switch hitting C/1B has a nearly identical setup from both sides of the dish. He has good separation, on-plane swing path, and shows good extension. From the right side he is a gap-to-gap style hitter, while from the left side he maintains a spray approach, but appears to be more comfortable from that right side. Defensively at first, he has active feet, covers ground laterally, and has good body control. Behind the dish, he has a quiet body while receiving and has soft hands. Jake has a clean/quick exchange, gains ground to throw - 2.2 pop - and shows an ability to block, but has a tendency to try and pick the ball. In all, Jake is very projectable, can switch hit, and is defensively sound either as a backstop, or first basemen.
