01/15/2010 - Under Armour Pre-Season All-America - 2010 Jake participated in the UA Preseason All-America as a OF/RHP, and showed well as a 2-way player. In the OF, Jake has good hands, feet and a quick release. He gets a good 1st step on the ball, has solid arm action, and an accurate arm to his target. More sure routes to the ball, and playing through it more should help his defensive skills further improve. On the mound, Jake's FB touches 85 MPH, and his CB has tight spin and sharp break. He has a quick arm action, good control, and is aggressive with hitters. A longer stride and more extension on his pitches should help Jake's stock on the mound rise. Offensively, Jake has good balance and bat speed. He is an athletic hitter with quick hands and a compact swing. Jake's swing is level and he can hit where the ball is pitched. Hitting grades can further improve if Jake can get more extension to the through the ball and avoid flying open with his front side.
