2019 Ohio Underclass Games II - Sneak Peek

Jake Johnson SS / RHP / Medina, OH / 2021

Body Type: 5-foot-11, 175-pound athletic frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Athletic presence on the mound with fluid, efficient movement patterns. Arm is on time and he creates separation at foot strike. Everything works well.
Fastball: 84-86 mph. Lower spin rate guy that creates consistent movement late in the zone. 1500-1700 rpms with low 90s spin efficiency.
Curveball: 68-70 mph. Spins an 11/5 shaped breaking ball with big action. Above average offering for class that should continue to tighten up as he matures.
Pitchability: Strike thrower.
Swing Mechanics: Balanced stance with quieter hands during his double tap timing trigger.
Hit: Very physical swing with bat speed to match. Took the top BP of his group, driving the ball with authority and showing the ability to lift the ball naturally.
Power: 90.5 off the bat in BP. Impressive jump with easy gap abilities.
Offensive Projection: Run Producer.
Field: In the infield he plays low and under control in his approach. Feet are fluid and ball skills appear to be above average for class.
Throw: 3/4 right-hander. Ball comes out easy with accuracy. Should see easy strength gains down the road.
Defensive Projection: Left side of infield.
Additional Comments: Multi hit day, hammering a double off the LCF wall in game.
