01/16/2015 - Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament Jarod is a 5'11/165 lbs backstop that showed consistent ability at the Under Armour Baseball Factory Pre-Season All America Tournament. Defensively, he was efficient with his feet and controlled with his body to receive with sure hands. He gained ground to throw and had a high exchange to quickly release the ball. More lower half flexibility to enable a lower setup will help to get the hands further in front to receive more consistently. With the bat, he worked to stay inside the ball with the barrel and generated good bat whip to and through contact. He showed a lot of upside at the plate and will begin making more consistent contact with lower half drive. All in all - Jarod is an interesting follow that has other year and a half left to add strength for the next level.
