12/27/2023 - Baseball Factory West Coast Winter Classic Jake is a Athletic 5 ft 2/100 2B in the 2029 class. He recently impressed scouts with his improvements at the West Coast Winter Classic. In the field, he adjusted to the 90 ft bases with ease. He gains an athletic fielding position and his footwork is smooth. Shows agility in his movements and covers his defensive zone well. Plays under the baseball and his hands are advanced for his age. He is quick on his release and uses a 3 qtr. slot. Arm action is short and is spot on with his accuracy. As he becomes stronger and his body matures, his velo will rise based upon how fluid his actions are. At the plate, he performed well in game action with 3 quality AB's (1B, 2 BB). He uses an open stance and his hands are comfortable. He gets his barrel on-plane and shows excellent bat to ball skills. Overall, made a jump from start to finish and scouts are eager to see him at future BF events.
