Home to 1st: 4.65
Jake is a 5'8" left-handed pitcher/outfielder. In the outfield Jake showed average to slightly above actions catching his ground balls and and showed quick easy arm action during his throws, his arm played out as above average and was loose. He broke on balls well and ran HARD to every ball he could get near, sacrificing his body and laying out on a number of occasions. During the batting practice session, Jake barreled up three of eight pitches he saw and hooked several pitches perhaps being a little jumpy as many kids are in a showcase. His in-game swings resulted in one hard-hit single and three high flyballs due to a late start and a bit of a lift. On the mound Jake is a crafty lefty with a good pick off move. He has a loose arm and a very tight breaking ball. He will gain more velocity. His fastball was 76-79 mph with a tight 69 mph breaking ball. To pitch at the next level Jake needs to figure out how to increase his velocity off the mound to match the big arm he shows from the outfield.
