07/18/2024 - Baseball Factory National World Series at JRTC Jacob is a talented OF who will graduate in the 2029 class. Scouts said he worked hard and had a tremendous attitude at the National World Series event. Defensively, he has active feet and tracks the baseball well. He closes the gap with his ability to stay inside the ball flight and uses his speed (7.71 runner). His pocket has feel and creates the trust factor to make the routine play look routine. As he gains strength and maturity, scouts feel his should throw the top of the baseball more to increase length and distance on his ball flight back to the dirt. At the plate, he shows a solid feel for the zone. He collected 3 BB’s on the week in 6 at-bats. Bat speed registered 66 and working to improve his balance and shorten his path will lead to a higher power outage. Overall, scouts liked his make-up and feel with a few minor adjustments, Jacob can become a solid player.
