2/06/21

Body: 6-foot-1, 155-pound.

Pitching: Projectable. Easy effort. ¾ arm angle, quick arm speed, longer arm action. Tall balance point, in line shoulders, lands soft, an upright finish.

FB: T82. 78-81 mph. (Max spin 2368;  Avg 2300). Decent accuracy, running action, hard movement.

CB: 63-63 mph. Around the zone control, tight action, 11/5 shape. (Max spin 2320; Avg 2320).

CH: 66-66 mph. In the zone command, slight action.

Pitching Notes: Jake has made a significant velo jump in one year (11 mph). As he continues to gain weight and strength to his long projectable frame we are going to see more. Expect much more to come in the near future. High follow

2/08/20

6-foot, 150-pound. At the plate, the right-handed hitter's best exit velocity was 70 mph. In the outfield, his best throw of the day was clocked at 68 mph. In the 60-yard dash, he clocked a time of 8.11. On the mound, had a long arm action and a ¾ arm angle. Used easy effort in his delivery. Lands square. Threw his fastball 68-70 mph and topped out at 71 mph; shows running action and command around the zone. Showed a 11/5 curveball (60-64) with gradual action. Had some command and fading action on his changeup (64-64).
