Diego Solares
Staff Writer

Our uncommitted senior spotlights continue and we’ll key in on Oakville 1B Jacob Frost this afternoon, the top 2021 first base prospect in the state, coming in at No. 30 overall.

A physical 6-foot-2, 210-pound athlete, Frost has impact potential harnessed within a strong left-handed stroke. He flashed that noticeably loud juice in his BP round at our MOKAN Fall Upperclass Games this October, recording a max exit speed of 98.30 mph and a max fly ball distance of 346 feet, per TrackMan.

You can find his full profile, with video and stats, down below:
