INF Jacob Gross (LaSalle-Peru, 2025) made a statement at his first Prep Baseball event. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound broad-shouldered right-handed hitter has apparently put on 40 pounds over the last year and the physicality at the plate was evident. Gross has a short, direct swing, repeats and was all over the barrel with authority throughout his round. Gross easily led the event in most of the offensive categories, including his 103.3 max exit velocity, 93.8 mph average and his max batted ball that traveled 374’. Gross has the makings to be a middle of the order type of bat at the next level and moved around well enough on the infield to believe he has a chance to stick at third base moving forward. Gross topped at 85 mph across and ran a 7.67 60. 2025 uncommitted prospect to know moving forward.
Positional Profile: 3B/RHP
Body: 6-2, 190-pounds. Wide-shouldered, long-levered frame with plenty of room for continued physical development.
Hit: RHH. Tall setup, minimal load, medium stride. Loose, strong hands, long through the zone, stays on plane, pull side jump off the barrel. Repeatable swing, controlled finish with gap-to-gap power. 75.6 mph bat speed with 24 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 103 max exit velocity, averaged 93.8 mph. 374’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 85 mph. Long arm action, 3/4 slot, plays comfortable from different slots.
Defense: Plays from the ground up, active feet, plays through the baseball, clean actions.
Run: 7.67 runner in the 60.
6-foot-1, 165 pound frame. Gross shined on both sides of the game as he finished the game recording a triple and also finished the game on mound. Gross sat 78-81 mph on the mound while topping at 83 mph and mixed in a low 70s slider.
