Winter Park, Fl --- The CFBL is a Fall developmental league for High School teams in the Central Florida area. It’s a chance for younger players to get live reps against other teams and for players to make an impression in front of their High School coach to set the tone for the Spring. Today we take a look at some highlights from the Winter Park vs Wekiva HS game.
Mike Brown C Wekiva HS 2016
Uncommitted Senior. 5-foot-10, 175 pound catcher with a lean athletic body on a medium sized frame. Good catch and throw guy with strong accurate throws to second base. Threw 2 guys out trying to steal. Solid receiver with good mobility. Blocks well. Hustles. Simple approach at the plate with good hand eye. Contact type hitter. Singles type guy.
Jacob Wakefield OF Wekiva HS 2017
6-foot, 175 pound outfielder with a loose lean live athletic projectable body. Has a good gate under way. Ran 4.26 and a 4.34 to 1B from the right side. Has quickness in the bat with a somewhat crude approach. Strength and power will come with physical maturity.

6-foot-1, 180 pound outfielder with a live athletic strong young body. Is really put together for such a young guy. Good instincts in OF with plenty of range and advanced arm strength. Throws have good carry. Very good bat speed with good strength and power. Will have big future power. Average ML power now. Good load with aggressive approach. Has a bit of a double hitch but is usually on time. Ball really jumps of his bat. Has a chance to become a 2018 draft. Smoked a double to deep left center field, stolen base, laid out for a diving catch in the outfield.
