A committed standout from the event is INF Dominic Jacoby (Taft, 2023; Spoon River commit). Currently ranked No. 243 in the state, the right-handed hitter stays short to the ball with bat-speed and extension through contact, staying flat through the zone and using a middle/pull approach throughout his round. His BLAST numbers were above-average; boasting an average hand-speed of 23 mph (T25.9 mph), average bat-speed of 69.1 mph (T77 mph) and average rotational acceleration of 17.7 (T23.6). Defensively, Jacoby has active/fluid footwork up to and through the ball, ranging easily to both sides of his glove. He secures the ball into his body with soft hands before moving into a quick/clean transfer, reaching up to 84 mph across the diamond.

INF Dominic Jacoby (Taft, 2023) was another all-around winner from Sunday’s event. A wiry 5-foot-11, 140-pound athlete, Jacoby kicked his day off by running a 6.96 in the 60-yard dash, which ended up being one of the event’s top times. Offensively, Jacoby worked in a fluid rhythm with a consistent gap-to-gap approach, showing athletic hands and an upside offensive game. Perhaps Jacoby’s biggest win from the day was his defensive workout, however. He moved with high energy throughout, showing athletic movements with quick feet and soft hands to pair, reaching an 84 mph high across the diamond. After all that, Jacoby pumped his fastball up to 83 mph in his ‘pen.
