Jaden is a hard working RHH who continues to make great strides in his game. At the plate, this righty remains athletic in his setup and gets back into a loaded position. Barrel is delivered on-time though a short/direct path as he engages his lower 1/2 and hits hard line-drives. Continuing to work on his timing and balance throughout the swing will result in increased hard contact. Only a 2024 grad - Jaden has a ton of upside and will only continue to improve.
12/27/2019 - Baseball Factory Winter Classic (Ages 12-14)
Jaden continues to show a promising future on the diamond with improvements in his baseball abilities. In the OF, defensive abilities have improved as he displays smooth / fluid actions. Feet are aggressive as he takes proper routes / angles in tracking down balls. He works to get behind balls but needs to play through more with momentum to his target. Range will increase as he continues to improve foot quickness. Throws are accurate but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, hitting abilities have improved through an athletic setup. Hands are quick and work through an aggressive swing path. He works to keep hands inside the ball, utilizing all fields through a line drive approach. He has some strength in his swing with the baseball jumping off the bat when centered. Mental makeup is a plus as he is very coachable and works hard to be the best player he can be.
