12/27/2024 - Baseball Factory East Coast Winter Classic (MS) Jacob is a lean OF/LHP who will graduate in 2030. In the OF, he shows smooth / fluid actions. Feet are active as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls but needs to play through with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he continues to improve his foot quickness. At the plate, he shows a tall setup. Hands are loose and work through an aggressive swing path. He stays inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. Power will increase as he utilizes his lower half more efficiently. On the mound, fastball showed a range of 53-55 mph with cutting action. Breaking ball displays 2/8 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup but throws too hard, resembling fastball. He throws strikes with all his pitches. Getting on a long toss program to develop more arm strength and develop off speed pitches will aid in improving stock on the mound. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best he can be. With 6 years to further develop, Jacob has potential with time and room to progress his game.
