Jacob is a 6'0" tall right-hander with a stocky athletic look. His fastball was 80-81 mph, his breaking ball was 68 to 69 mph. He has a compact, simple delivery with deception and a high 3/4 delivery. Jacob can increase his velocity by exploding off the rubber better and maintaining a solid arm program into the spring. He showed a bulldog mentality and great mound presence, which resulted in his fielders being on their toes. Some pitchers give off the vibe of being in control, no matter what their raw stuff is like and Jacob is one of those pitchers.
