Jacob
Reimer

The 6-foot, 180-pounder finds the barrel seemingly with every swing that he takes, and he picked up multiple hits in almost every game that he played with some present power to the pull side along with the ability to drive the ball to both gaps. His hands flow fluently down and back with a bigger leg hang that lands semi-abrupt before the hands rip the barrel through the zone. He is confident in his hands on the infield, and his strong arm showcases carry across the diamond. His foot speed will likely shift him to third base in the future, but the power in his bat should help him stick on there. Perhaps even more promising about Reimer’s future is the quiet intensity that he plays the game with: he appears determined to be the best on the field at all times, and that drive can be seen in the way that he plays the game.

SoCal Preseason All-State (fielding) - Though he is far from being done growing, and still young-looking at 5-foot-11, 170-pounds, Reimer had no issue making the stadium look small at JSerra Catholic as he blasted four balls out of the park in his round of batting practice. The right-handed hitter currently possesses some natural, durable strength, and he utilizes it well as his hands separate back with a small leg hang before the barrel works slightly uphill through the zone. Reimer's aggressive use of his lower-half provides for much of the power, and being that he is still so young with much more physical-development to come, there is a good chance he ends up having even more power down the line. In the field, he had a strong round while taking ground balls at shortstop. He likely projects as more of a third baseman as he fills out, but he is confident in his hands with solid footwork and a quick, strong arm.

SoCal Preseason All-State (pitching) - 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, two-way player with good athleticism. Smooth short arm circle in the back creating consistent arm action and arm speed. Releases ball from a high three-quarter arm slot and possess repeatable mechanics. Needs to increase foot stride and lower half usage to create more power and momentum. Sharp curveball with 12/6 break with the same release point and arm path as the fastball. Change-up was erratic but possess run and sink and flashes of becoming a quality pitch. Mature freshman pitcher with good mechanics and a plus curveball, projects as a starter with velocity gains and off-speed fine-tuning.

SoCal Preseason All-State Quick Hits - Reimer is a name that every college coach in the state will soon become very familiar with.
