Jacob Jarackas: LHP/OF, (2026) Grosse Pointe North, MI. 5-foot-9, 145-pound. (57.7 mph bat speed average). (19.3 mph hand speed average). Sets up in a balanced tall stance then used a big leg kick. Bat speed is developing and has a short level swing plane. Up the middle approach. His best position velocity in the outfield was registered at 65 mph; shows in control consistent feet, a natural lengthy exchange, and firm hands. When fielding he gathers the ball one hand to the side. Solid on the mound, using a clean arm action he showed good arm speed from an over-the-top arm angle. Tall-and-fall type pitcher who shows some effort. Showed tall balance point with even shoulders. Lands square with a clean finish. (Max spin 1806; Avg 1688).
