12/12/2021 - Official College Recruiting Membership - Manalapan, NJ Jake is a young, catcher who will graduate in 2024. Behind the plate, Jake has a low/square set-up, efficient footwork, and he presents his glove well. He sits in comfortably, blocks and receives well, and his exchange is clean. Jake has a quick/consistent arm to 2nd base with pop times as low as 2.45 seconds. If Jake can smooth out his actions, and gain more ground to throw, defensive grades can improve. At the plate, Jake has an athletic stance, good balance, and he swings in good rhythm. He has a good grip, some hand load, and he swing with fast bat speed and good intent through the baseball. More weight transfer and letting the ball travel deeper will help solid hitting numbers get even better.
