08/04/2010 - College Prep Super Regional - Mattoon, IL - PM Jacob is a small, thin, 2-way player that Pitches and plays OF. He currently projects better in the OF as he approaches his Junior year. Defensively, Jacob has a good approach, quick feet, and he takes good angles to the ball. He gets rid of it quickly and throws accurately to his target. On the mound, Jacob has good balance and direction toward the plate. He gets his pitches over the plate and he makes good use of his lower 1/2. Mound effectiveness can further improve with added arm strength, better glove side lead, and more extension. At the plate, Jacob has average balance, bat speed, and barrel accuracy. He centers the ball well and use the whole field. Looser actions and more lower 1/2 will help offensive grades get better.
