Jake Henson is a 2012 C/OF with a 6-0 195 lb. frame from St. Peters, MO who attends Francis Howell Central. Strong athletic Catching prospect impressed scouts both at the plate and behind it. Showed very good arm strength and solid receiving skills behind the plate, has a good chance to develop into a plus defender behind the plate. At the plate showed good strength and balance to his swing with good bat speed and can dive the ball with authority. Projects to improve power with maturity. Good student. Very interesting prospect to follow.
