Scouting Report
Jenkins is 6-foot-2, 180 pounds and is a very dynamic, fast-twitched athlete. He has a strong, lean frame and moves extremely well. He pitched exclusively from the stretch and a high hands set. He lands across his body, restricting his hips and direction. He pitches with a long and clean arm action with elbow climb. He has rare, special arm speed that makes him an extremely high level prospect with a very high ceiling. He pounded the zone with his fastball and got over his front side well, particularly to his glove side. His fastball sat 88-90 and he topped out at 91 miles-per-hour. He also flashed a tilted slider at 73-76 miles-per-hour which has the potential to be a devastating wipe-out pitch. Only one hitter squared him up in his dominant 6-batter simulated inning. He also showed the ability to field his position. He is a very high upside prospect.

Prep Baseball Report New Jersey is pleased to announce that in the summer of 2016, the first New Jersey State Games will take place on July 23-26 at Rutgers University. The 2016 New Jersey State Games is expected to be one of the summer’s most exciting and well scouted events in the state.

Since the inception of Prep Baseball Report in New Jersey in July of 2015, more than 50 different schools have attended a PBR event in the Garden State.

This event will take the place of the New Jersey Top Prospect Games which has seen over 30 of its participants make verbal commitments thus far and the majority of the rest with offers on the table. More than 50 different schools have attended one or more of our Prep Baseball Report events in New Jersey and the list continues to grow.

The 2016 games will bring together all of New Jersey’s talent together in a competitive atmosphere where the state will be broken down into six teams, comprised of 2017s and select 2018s, to decide which region is the strongest. The teams will be Northwest, Northeast, Central, Jersey Shore, Southwest, and South.
