12/20/2021 - Baseball Factory Christmas Camp & Tournament at Pirate City - Session 1 Jake is a 2023 C prospect who showcased his skills at the Pirate City Tournament. Behind the plate, he starts in an easy/low sit and presents a low target with strong hands. Works with good direction towards second base as he replaces his feet and throws from a high 3/4 arm slot. He works his thumb under, with a clean 2-hand transfer, and an arm velocity up to 82mph and a best pop time of 2.09 seconds. Creates good blocking angles, with his chin tucked, and is quick down. At the plate, he hits from an athletic and open stance with comfortable hands. Quiet head and level eyes enable him to track pitches well. Has a square stride, with a small hand load, and good hip rotation to his launch position. During his round of BP, he hit line drives consistently to all fields with a bat exit velocity up to 81mph. In live game action, he had a double, 4 singles, and was hit by a pitch. With another year of growth and development, we foresee Jake making huge strides on the baseball field.
