01/16/2015 - Baseball Factory National Spring Training at Pirate City Jacob flashed quick hands and showed good balance at the plate during his most recent outing with Baseball Factory. Offensively, he demonstrated excellent tracking ability and had a nice finish on his swings. Jacob's ability to become more directional with his swing - staying to and through the ball - will greatly enhance his overall results. At third base, Jacob did a good job of fielding the ball out front. He works well to get the proper footwork while fielding and takes good routes to the baseball. A consistent routine of infield drills will improve his overall defensive game and help take him to the next level.
