12/27/2014 - Under Armour Baseball Factory Recruiting Classic Jake displayed strong intangibles in his most recent outing with Baseball Factory. The cold weather arm threw 3 total innings with a repeatable delivery and feel for clean mechanics. He has a good pitchers frame, a great work ethic, and is comfortable in his pitching style - ground-ball pitcher that stays low in the zone. In the infield, he flashed lateral quickness and was aggressive with his first step to come get. He displayed good baseball awareness and threw from the 3/4 slot. Getting his hands further in front to field, and utilizing his legs more to throw will increase fielding percentage. In the box, he kept his head still to contact, allowing for decent barrel accuracy. He was disciplined in the strike zone and battled for hits. More rhythm to hit and a more direct bat path will improve overall ability. All in all - Jake is a promising junior that respects the game, his teammates, and his coaches.
