07/06/2010 - College PREP - Green Isle, MN Jake is a small, thin, athletic player that Pitches and plays OF. He currently projects better in the OF as he approach his Senior year. Defensively, Jake has active feet, and he tracks and reads the ball well. He has a good feel for the OF position, he comes and gets ground balls, and throws accurately to his target. If Jake can add arm strength, work behind the ball more, and use 2 hands, we could see a spike in defensive numbers. On the mound, Jake has good direction toward the plate and he repeats his delivery well. He has average glove side lead and his SL shows to be a good off-speed pitch. More lower 1/2, and added arm strength will help abilities on the mound get better. Offensively, Jake is a contact hitter with a level swing. He can hit to all fields, has has some pull side pop, and he uses his lower 1/2 well. Hitting can get better if Jake can avoid choking the bat, improve his balance, and get more extension through the ball.
