Jake Ourique, Gahr (CA), 2026 Positional Profile: RHP 3 pitch mix RHP with advanced pitchability, velocity ticking up to go with plus CHG and developing SLD. Starters profile with intriguing ceiling Body: 6-0, 185-pounds. Medium framed with some present strength in lower half and mobility in upper body with room to fill. Delivery: Stretch only delivery with low effort operation taht repeats consistently. Quiet hands with a belly button high knee lift that moves down the mound with good tempo. Stays online with the front side of his body in to foot strike with use of his lower 1/2. Stays over front leg throughout allowing him to maintain direction. Doesn't fully lead leg block through delivery. Arm Action: RH. High 3/4 slot with some depth in backswing going below his belt and behind his body in the arm circle. Arm is loose and quick with no recoil to arm after delivery. Repeats slot consistently. FB: FB shows occasional ride at top of zone, but plays better down with arm side run to tunnel with his secondary offerings. SL: Softer slider which is starting to develop more power with spin rates approaching 2400. Gets a sweeper like action. Trending up. CH: Deceptive CHG he throws with arm speed and confidence. Effectively kills spin on the pitch to get sink while also adding arm side fade playing east/west with his SLD and tunneling off his FB. Potential Plus pitch.

Jake Ourique, Gahr (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: RHP/1B Polished feel for the strike zone with his FB, potential plus CHG and emerging SLD that all show potential to be average or more pitches with advanced pitchability. Starter projection.
Body: 6-0, 185-pounds. Developing frame which has a foundation of strength to lower and upper body while showing room to fill.
Delivery: Athletic mover who shows good intention with body control. Uses a belly button high knee lift with quiet hands in load portion of delivery before sitting slightly into his back hip and leading down the mound with his front leg into foot strike. Blocks the lead leg well to maintain direction in delivery and finish over his front side.
Arm Action: RH. Medium length arm circle which comes slightly below the belt with some depth rearward and stays mainly behind his body working up to this High 3/4 slot which allows him to get on top of his pitches. It's a clean quick arm without recoil after release.
FB: T87, 85-87 mph. FB has downward life to it, but shows ability to elevate it. Will need to separate the movement patterns and with spin rates projects to be more of a running FB with sink to bottom of zone. T2185, 2090 average rpm.
CH: 74-74 mph. CHG flashes true plus potential with heavy arm side fade and sink due to his ability to kill spin and throw it with FB arm speed. T1380, 1325 average rpm.
