03/01/2013 - Yankees Spring Training Experience (Ages 12-14) Jacob is a young player who shows good body control at 2B. Defensively, he showed good routes to the ball with a square fielding position. His arm action is short with consistent throws across the diamond. Jacob works to the ball well but will need to work on playing lower in his fielding position. Technique is good and will continue to improve as the overall tempo improves. Agility drills will help develop quicker footwork. Offensively, Jacob stands in well, he showed the ability to load the correct way getting his hands back and foot down. He will need to work on making sure he is consistent with that load during live at bats. When his foot gets down early enough he shows good barrel accuracy and plate discipline. Overall, Jacob shows good fundamentals in his game and will improve as he continues to physically mature.
