09/05/2010 - College PREP - Plainfield, IN Jarod participated at his most recent workout as a Catcher only, and showed similar skills as in previous workouts. He lowered his 60 time from 7.9 to 7.7, and continues to show promise behind the dish. Defensively, Jarod presents his glove well, looks the ball in, and he has good flexion. He centers the ball well on his chest when blocking and shows quick footwork. Jarod lets the ball travel deep and has a nice exchange from glove to hand. He has life on the ball out of his hand and delivers the ball accurately to his target. Offensively, Jarod has average balance and good bat speed. He has a good set-up, decent swing path, and shows pop in the gaps. Jarod will need to keep a firm backside and tap into more lower 1/2 in order for offensive numbers to further improve.
