Uncommitted Spotlight: 2022 Jake Vildostegui
April 19, 2022
This spring we will be highlighting players throughout the state with Uncommitted Spotlights. We will highlight one 2022, 2023, and 2024 player each week looking for a school to call home. The state of Florida is full of uncommitted players who have the talent to play at the next level. These players deserve as much exposure as they can get in order to help them find the right home.
Today, we will highlight 2022 Jake Vildostegui. Jake is a 5-foot-9, 175 pound outfielder from Steinbrenner High School in Lutz, FL. Outside of high school, Jake plays travel ball with the Top Tier Roos. Jake has been a standout for several years at the Roos Scout Day each December. Quick in the outfield and can cover ground well in center. Offensively, has an aggressive approach to the ball with the ability to spray line drives to both sides of the field.
