02/22/2013 - Yankees Spring Training Experience (Ages 14-18) Uba continues to show as a 2-way player and has a very projectable build. On the mound, this RHP gets to a tall and controlled balance point and maintains good tempo. He works both sides of the plate and has the ability to command his pitches well. Finishing out over his front side with extension helps him to put the ball where he wants too. Continued increase in arm strength will raise FB velocity and make him a threat on the mound. Defensively a 1B, Jonathan works around the ground ball and gets into a square fielding position. He presents his glove well and fields the ball out in front. As a hitter, Uba remains balanced throughout his swing and drives his backside lower 1/2. He makes consistent contact and has the ability to use the whole field. Keeping his front-side closed will help with more barrel consistency and improve his hitting abilities. Jonathan is only a 2014 graduate and still has time to work on his game.
