08/02/2018 - Baseball Factory Pro Select Training & Tournament at Historic Dodgertown (Ages 14-18) Jacob is a lean, athletic two-way player with lots of potential on the field and the work ethic to meet that potential. He shows feel to hit with the ability to consistently barrel the ball up and flash pop to the pull side. He looks to do damage with every swing and works on a direct path to the ball to cover the whole zone. He makes square contact on a consistent basis to hit the ball hard for base hits. At short, he works well around the bag, showing feel for the position and turning a quick DP. His hands are soft and clean to field to play tough hops and make the hard plays up the middle. He shows presence on the mound and controls the game with his tempo and feel for sequencing pitches. He shows a fastball and sinker with good downward action and an 11-5 curveball that he commands well. Adding a third pitch will allow him to get through a lineup with less stress. Jacob is a talented, young prospect with a high ceiling in the game.
