08/26/2012 - College PREP - Kapolei (Honolulu), HI Jacob is a tall, athletic 3B/OF that will graduate in 2014. Foot speed is solid as indicated by his 7.22 60 time. At 3B, feet are active as he attacks ground balls and plays through well. Hands are soft / clean but needs to present hands more out front to continue to improve defensive grade. In the OF, he takes proper routes / angles and works to gets behind balls. Throws are accurate, flashing carry through a loose arm swing but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, White shows a balanced approach with rhythm. Hands are strong / quick, flashing bat speed through a level swing path. He has strength in his swing with the baseball jumping off his bat when centered, mainly to the pull side. For hitting grade to improve, he needs to work to keep hands inside the ball to utilize all fields. With 2 years to further develop, Jacob has potential and will catch the eyes of the collegiate coaches as he continues to improve.
