10/14/2012 - College PREP - Baltimore, MD Jake is a tall, thin, 2-way player who pitches and plays SS. On the mound, Jake has a loose arm, eyes on target, and good glove side lead. He works in good rhythm, his shoulders are level, and he overall mechanics are solid. Not throwing across his body, improving his CB, and finishing off his pitches can improve mound effectiveness. At SS, Jake has playable hands and feet, he makes plays, and he throws with accuracy to his target. Playing more aggressive and lower to the ground along with added arm strength will help improve defense. Offensively, Jake has a tall set-up, good balance, and a level swing. He makes square contact and can hit with some strength to the pull side. He will need to improve his timing, let the ball travel, and use more lower 1/2 to spike hitting numbers.
