Fits the bill of a utility-type with impactful footspeed up-the-middle, Jessup is a 6.7 runner with a quick right-handed bat that plays with more strength than the 5-foot-9, 170-pound frame would suggest. With exits reaching the upper-90s, Jessup showed familiar bat speed and offensive ability at this event as he peppered firm liners from gap-to-gap. On the defensive side, the feet carry and the arm strength has ticked up as he reached 89 from the OF and 88 across the diamond.
Jessup is the twitchiest amongst the group, along with boasting the best present day toolset. The swing is uber-athletic and produced 96+ exits with the ability to match plane, showing gap-to-gap strength at the moment. A 6.74 runner - Jessup feels like a slam-dunk to stay in the middle of the diamond.
- Jessup is a fun prospect with swagger and moxie + a twitchy, undersized, 5-foot-8, 165 pounder. He is another super young prospect for the class that allows for some upside. The bat is what I like best here. He turns the barrel with twitch and produces 98-plus exits with an on-plane barrel and natural feel to lift. There is present gap2gap power with a 6.80 60-time elevating the offensive profile. A primary SS for now, I think Jessup profiles best in CF, and he should be able to seamlessly transition to 2B as well with the range to cover ground in the middle.
