11/02/2014 - Interactive Video Program - Tampa, FL Jake is a young, 2-way player as a RHP/SS. On the mound, he has a 3-pitch mix coming from a low 3/4 and free arm action. He works to a controlled balance point, keeps his eyes on the target and works in-line toward the plate. FB ranges from 64-66 mph while breaking ball has 'sweeping' action. At SS, Jake hustles into position behind the ground ball with active footwork. He makes the plays and has a clean exchange to throw. With the bat, this RHH shows a tall approach with rhythm in his hands. He tracks the ball into the zone and connects, hitting line-drives. Overall abilities in his game will improve with work on the following.
