OF Jacob Rufino (Elgin, 2027) is another upside prospect for Next Level, standing in at 5-foot-10, 145-pounds with long, lean levers and room to add on strength. The right-handed hitter has a loose stroke with upside, athletic hands with the ability to manipulate the barrel, looks to use the whole field. Athletic defender in centerfield, quick first step with long/athletic strides, covers ground easily and moves well into a crow hop. Arm plays with accuracy to his target.
