Jacob Tabor: LHP/OF, (2023) Olentangy Orange, OH. 6-foot-3, 195-pound. Projectable on the mound, used a loose arm action and a ¾ arm angle while showing quick arm speed. Uses easy effort in his delivery. Has an athletic balance point. Lands square with an upright finish. Curveball (73-74 mph) 1/7 sharp, changeup (78-80 mph) quality fade, slider (69-75 mph) allows him to control a horizontal plane. Sat with his fastball at 83-86 mph.
7/14/20
Scouting Notes: Some of the highest upside of the event so far. 2023 southpaw with a 6-foot-3 frame, fluid delivery, and feel for three above average offerings. Wouldn't be shocked at all if we are looking at one of the top arms in Columbus down the road as he continues to develop physically. Fastball: 78-82 mph. Fastball Spin Rate: 1898-2041 Breaking Ball: 65-66 mph. Breaking Ball Spin Rate: 1772-1894 Changeup: 74-75 mph. Spin Rate: 1467

2/17/20 Position Player Hit: Right-handed hitter that starts in a balanced stance. Goes with a double tap timing trigger with quiet hands to loading sequence. Downhill path with developing natural tools. Much more to come. Aggressive swinger. All fields approach in BP. Power: Flashed gap abilities and should see regular gap pop as he adds loft to stroke. Offensive Projection: TBD. Field: Ideal frame for first base position. Moves well off the bag, showing above average athleticism. Throw: Clean arm with looseness to it. Defensive Projection:1B.
2/17/20
2/17/20 Pitching Delivery Notes: Very interesting young arm to follow. Athletic, 6-foot-3 frame with long limbs and a high waist. Good mover on the mound with a loose, whippy arm. Shows all the physical signs of being a higher velo guy down the road. Fastball: Late life. Should add easy mphs down the road. 77-80 mph. Fastball Spin Rates: 1800-2000. Curveball: Can spin it. Pitch works on a 2/8 plane with quality action for class. 63-66 mph. Curveball Spin Rates: 1800-2000. Changeup: Serviceable third offering, maintaining arm speed. Pitchability: Strike thrower for the most part.
