Jake Jachym: LHP, (2022) Westfield, MA. 6-foot-1, 155-pound lean lanky frame. Capable projectable on the mound, showing developing consistent arm speed he used a loose consistent arm action with a ¾ arm angle. Feel up-tempo type pitcher and uses some effort. Displays in line shoulders and a consistent athletic balance point. Lands closed with an athletic finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 78-79 mph; showed command arm side in the zone and running late action with sharp movement. (Max spin 2201; Avg 1948). Shows glove side around the zone command and sweeping action on his 11/5 curveball (63-65). His changeup (64-65) has fading action and arm side around the zone control. The delivery has a good amount of deception to it, as the ball was tough to pick up at times.

6-foot-1, 155-pound lengthy. On the mound, showed quick arm speed, also used a ¾ arm angle and a long arm action. Tall-and-fall type pitcher who shows easy effort. During his delivery balance point is tall with in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. Threw his fastball 76-78 mph; had sinking action and arm side control with heavy movement. Throws a 11/5 curveball 61-64 mph; that has sweeping action and low in the zone control. Shows fading action and command around the zone on his changeup 67-70 mph. Tons of projection on this one.
