Notes

Comments

9/27/24
6-foot, 170-pound frame, lean and high-waisted build, room to add strength throughout. Jacoby is a legitimate two-way, and he should garner some pro interest this coming spring. He’s a premium athlete, having run a 6.50 in the past, and his athleticism easily transfers over to every aspect of his game. The right-handed hitter starts with a wide base and utilizes a minimal toe-tap for timing, twitchy hands work through the zone with a steeper path, working to stay on top of the ball with a middle/pull approach (T95.6 mph max EV; 90.7 mph avg. EV). Fluid defender on the infield with bounce in his step, proper footwork through the baseball, sure-handed actions with a smooth transfer, long strides allow him to cover ground to both sides of his glove easily. Strong arm with some intent across, topping out at 90 mph, showed the ability to play from multiple angles and on the move. On the mound, the right-hander is raw with certainly more in the tank. His fastball cruised at 88-90 mph, topping out at 91 mph with backspin and carry (T20.2 IVB; T2.5” HM), spinning over 2,300 rpm at times. He showed some feel for both of his breaking balls, starting with a curveball at 69-72 mph (T2482 rpm), playing with sharp downer action. The slider had slightly more horizontal action than the curve, sitting around 72-76 mph (T2553 rpm). The changeup was thrown with intent, playing mostly straight with slight cutting action at times, 73-78 mph.
2/22/23

A committed standout from the event is INF Dominic Jacoby (Taft, 2023; Spoon River commit). Currently ranked No. 243 in the state, the right-handed hitter stays short to the ball with bat-speed and extension through contact, staying flat through the zone and using a middle/pull approach throughout his round. His BLAST numbers were above-average; boasting an average hand-speed of 23 mph (T25.9 mph), average bat-speed of 69.1 mph (T77 mph) and average rotational acceleration of 17.7 (T23.6). Defensively, Jacoby has active/fluid footwork up to and through the ball, ranging easily to both sides of his glove. He secures the ball into his body with soft hands before moving into a quick/clean transfer, reaching up to 84 mph across the diamond.

Verbally committed to Spoon River JC.

2/13/22

INF Dominic Jacoby (Taft, 2023) was another all-around winner from Sunday’s event. A wiry 5-foot-11, 140-pound athlete, Jacoby kicked his day off by running a 6.96 in the 60-yard dash, which ended up being one of the event’s top times. Offensively, Jacoby worked in a fluid rhythm with a consistent gap-to-gap approach, showing athletic hands and an upside offensive game. Perhaps Jacoby’s biggest win from the day was his defensive workout, however. He moved with high energy throughout, showing athletic movements with quick feet and soft hands to pair, reaching an 84 mph high across the diamond. After all that, Jacoby pumped his fastball up to 83 mph in his ‘pen.

3/13/21

INF Dominic Jacoby (Taft) has a 5-foot-11, 140-pound, long loose-bodied frame and athletic infield actions. Jacoby’s hands play soft and confident with advanced actions ranging to both sides. He’s a natural defender on the infield whose hands will clearly play in the middle of the diamond. He has the same loose, wiry actions at the plate with a right-handed swing that repeated line-drive contact.
