04/05/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Myrtle Beach, SC Jake caught, pitched and swung the bat well for the Eagles squad at the PreSeason All-Ripken Games in Myrtle Beach. At the plate he is aggressive early in the count and has quick hands. When he stays relaxed at the plate he swung very effectively, including a line drive double. As a defender he was very good behind the dish. His ability to block balls in the dirt saved his team many potential extra bases. His feel for receiving is good, and quicker feet will help him out of the chute on throws to the bases. Jake also jumped on the mound and mixed a fastball and curve to keep hitters off balance while competing well. Overall, Jake was a pleasure to have at the event with an outstanding attitude and high baseball IQ. We look forward to seeing him again soon.
