Jacob Ross is a 2021 OF/ with a 6-1 160 lb. frame from Chicago, IL who attends Lake View. Recorded a 7.30 second 60 yard dash time. Medium frame with a thin and slender build, plenty of room to fill. Primary outfielder with a slow-moving and passive approach, fields it deep with a late glove stab. Utilizes a long arm action and recorded throws at 79 mph. Shows stiff hands and developing feel for the glove, will improve as he plays through the ball and keeps his momentum going into the throw. Left-handed hitter with a narrow stance and even base. Extremely low and deep hand set with a big stride forward into contact. Loses the back side on his lunge forward, limited power and hip drive comes with him as a result. Shows a strictly pull side approach, tends to make contact far out in front of the plate. Flies open at times and displays a long swing path. Will improve impact potential as he keeps his weight back and catches the ball deeper.
