06/27/2010 - Team One South 2010 Jacob is a solid, strong, Catcher with a good set of skills. Behind the plate, Jacob has good balance and he hold a low target. He blocks and receives the ball well, and throws accurately to 2nd base. His pop times range from 2.04 to 2.11. If Jacob can loosen his body actions, quicken his exchange, and avoid standing up to throw, defensive grades can further improve. At the plate, Jacob has a balanced approach, quick hands, and good bat speed. He puts the ball in play and has pop in his bat. Hitting can improve with a better transfer, a more level swing, and by working the ball to the opposite field.
