Jake Andreas, Dixie (UT), 2025 San Francisco
Positional Profile: RHP The ace of the Flyers staff this spring and has performed thruout his his first two years at Dixie HS, and looks to take it to the next level and prepare himself when stepping foot on U San Francisco's campus. Has steadily grown his velocity and pitch-ability over the last two years. Touched 88 at the Preseason All-State, with a high of 92 at the West Coast Games
Body: 6-3, 196-pounds. Lean muscular athletic frame, that has really come on as he continues to fill out and mature
Delivery: Simple north to south delivery with a rock step into a high kick to delivery.
Arm Action: RH. The arm is clean and pure and showed the base ingredients to make some tweaks, that will take his tools to the next level!
FB: T88, 85-87 mph. The FB plays slightly up, due to his tucked front shoulder, that hides the ball for deception T2076, 2028 average rpm.
CB: The CB takes on HTQ tilt with minimal movement profile. BA spin, yet is a 2 seam sinker ball type, that needs to be a pitch to contact 88-90, then when needed, he then has 92 in his pocket
SL: 74-75 mph. T1972, 1924 average rpm.
CH: 78-80 mph. Didn't feature a CH T1974, 1921 average rpm.

A PBR Future Games invite, that had to back out due to an illness during the summer. Keep this kids name at the forefront of your mind!! A move in from Basic HS in Las Vegas last January, Andreas caught my eye during the second half of the spring season, as he was coming in to close games out for now BYU RHP-Cayson Bell. What I noticed was a taller version of Bell with a loose whippy HTQ arm stroke with good ext out front and the ball was jumping out of his hand. A flexible high kick to his delivery with solid use of his lower 1/2 to drive down the slope and get downhill plane of attack. The FB 83-88 with four and two seam usage, flashes tumbling sink with the two seamer and ride and carry through the zone with the four seam and spot up with K throwing ability to proj a low 90's FB over the next couple of seasons. With a tall lean and slender build, Andreas has the features and bone structure to pack on an added 20 Lbs at maturity and see his FB potentially jump 5-6 mph in due time. The wrist is loose and the one pitch that needs work is the CB or a harder breaking ball of some sort. The offering is loose and casts at 69-70 mph with off speed type arc and depth, but is thrown too slow at present. He may want to go to the SL and work off the FB grip and let it eat. The main focus should be to learn to cut the ball first and then continue to manipulate the pitch as he gains added feel and add tilt and late depth. One thing is certain is the delivery is in place to proj with a loose fast arm and the ability to finish the FB with overall athleticism. This is one to keep a close eye on over the next spring as he could come fast and gain attention quick!
