04/05/2024 - The Preseason All-Ripken Games - Myrtle Beach Jake is a physical young player who competed well for the Banners squad at the PreSeason All-Ripken Games. His RBI double was a highlight at the plate where he showed good for the barrel and the ability to consistently make contact. He incorporated his lower half well, and will benefit from staying square a bit longer in his swing. Defensively, Jake provides a good target over at 1B. We would like to see him a little more aggressive on ground balls - coming to get them on a good hop. Jake also jumped o the mound to show his versatility and mixed in a fastball up to 49 mph and a change at 44. We look forward to working with Jake again as he continues to develop.
