LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Coastal Indoor Showcase
Jacob Bender is a 2026 SS/OF with a 5-11 145 lb. frame from Olney, MD who attends Sherwood. Young and slender middle infielder's build with plenty of room to get stronger. Primary shortstop on defense, arm works easily and is very comfortable throwing from different slots and on the run, moves to the ball and takes good routes carrying his momentum into his throws, active feet to the backhand, all the ingredients to become a next level defensive player. Right handed hitter, hits from a straight stance with a late hand hitch load that leaves him behind, drove the ball hard to the middle of the field when he was timed up and created back spin, will continue to improve offensively as he gets stronger and makes adjustments. Very good student.
