04/05/2024 - All-Ripken Games - Myrtle Beach, SC Jayce played for the stripes squad at the PreSeason All-Ripken Games and had a good showing at the plate and behind it. He is under control in the batter's box in his set-up, stride and pitch selection. His approach allows him to hit the ball to all fields and we really like his 2-strike approach - he battles! Staying short and direct to the ball will help his consistency of hard contact as a hitter. Defensively Jayce receives well with sure hands and a feel for presenting the ball. His target is good and low and he is solid on balls in the dirt. Quicker footwork out of the chute will help his throws to 2B continue to improve. Jayce also jumped on the mound and showed a good FB/CH combination. Overall, this is a hard worker who is a good team player and will continue to develop.
