2025 Uncommitted Spotlight: RHP Ayden Jacobs

September 17, 2024
Prep Baseball Tennessee Staff

With the summer coming to a close and we begin to transition to the fall with a brand-new school year, our focus is still on uncommitted prospects in the Classes of 2025 and 2026. As these prospects enter their final two years of high school, there are still many talented upperclassmen still on the market that may have been "overlooked" or are currently "flying under the radar" and looking for a place to play at the next level.

Be on the lookout as we begin to highlight uncommitted prospects in the state of Tennessee each week throughout the remainder of the fall.

Scouting Report

4/24/24

Ayden Jacobs ('25, Collierville) The right-hander was a standout at #TNPAS back in February and has been uber consistent for Collierville as their number #2 this season thus far. Jacobs comes in at 6 foot 1 and 190 pounds with athletic and wiry traits in the profile. The fastball jumps out of his hands with plenty of future velocity to come down the line. Seeing him twice this season, Jacobs has sat 87-89 with multiple 90’s/91’s sprinkled throughout. His best pitch may be his curveball where it comes in advance with firmness in the 78-81 mph range with both depth and downward tilt that he is able to get bad swing and misses on to both left and right handed hitters. Short arm path that hides the ball well, Jacobs has kept two really solid offensive teams off-balance, while racking up K’s at a high clip. The fastball contains some late arm-side run and gets on hitters quickly with a frame that will surely be able to hold more strength in the future, setting himself up as an arm to follow as he puts it all together.
