10/05/2014 - College PREP - Sauget (St. Louis), IL Jared is a lean SS/RHP that will graduate in 2017. Currently, he projects best at SS for the next level. Feet are active / aggressive as he moves well laterally and works to square balls up, displaying clean hands. He works around and plays through the ball well with his body. Throws are accurate but needs to build more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows an athletic / squared approach and he tracks the ball well. Hands are quick, working to and through a level swing path, creating extension. He makes consistent contact, mainly to the pull side. Hitting grade will continue to improve as he works to stay inside the ball to utilize all fields. Barrel accuracy is a plus as baseball jumps off the bat when centered with power numbers increasing as he learns to use his lower half more. On the mound, fastball shows a range of 66-68 mph with cutting action. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. He throws a split finger but needs to develop more movement on pitch. Stock on the mound will continue to improve as he builds more arm strength, works to throw more strikes, develops better off speed pitches, and works to throw more strikes. With 3 years to further develop, Jared has abilities with time and room to improve.
