06/17/2010 - Omaha Pro Select Training and Tournament - Week 1 Jared showed similar skills in Omaha as he did at his last workout. He participated as both a 1st baseman and RHP, and currently projects better at 1B. Defensively, Jared fields the baseball out in front of his body and he makes plays. He is a big target at 1B, and has decent arm strength, with carry, to his target. On the mound Jared has okay mechanics and good direction toward the plate. He has a short arm action and lives in the strike zone. Pitching abilities can get better if Jared can add arm strength and improve his off-speed pitches. Offensively, Jared has good physical strength and he puts the ball in play. He makes solid contact and has pull side pop. Hitting grades can improve if Jared can work the the ball to all fields and improve his plate discipline.
