11/02/2014 - Interactive Video Program - Vinton (Roanoke), VA Jack is a young 2-way player as a C/OF. Behind the dish, he tracks the ball into his mitt and receives with a quiet/soft mitt. He moves well laterally a bodies up the ball. In the OF, Jack shows active footwork as he hustles into position behind the fly-ball. He secures the ball, gathers well and works in-line toward his target. With the bat, this RHH shows a square setup and balanced approach. Swing path is level as he likes the pitch on the inner 1/2 and pulls it. Overall abilities will improve with work on the following.
