LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2019 SoCal Prospect Showcase
Jacob Mackin is a 2020 RHP/ with a 5-11 150 lb. frame from Pine Valley, CA who attends El Capitan. Lengthy slender build with plenty of room to fill out as he progresses. Primary right handed pitcher, mid to high leg lift that lands slightly closed off down the hill. Shorter arm action from a high three-quarters arm slot. Some violence to his drop and drive actions, as well as some tilt to his body into the window, creates downward angle on the fastball. 70-73 mph fastball possesses slight arm side run, fills up the zone well with it and repeats mechanics consistently. Mixes in a 66 mph curveball but mostly likes to pitch with the fastball and is not afraid to challenge hitters with it. From the outfield, uses more of an infield style arm action with a quick exchange. Is deliberate with his glove work, reads the ball fine. Finds run on his throws to the plate. High leg kick trigger at the plate with a heavy linear weight shift that creates plenty of leverage in his swing. Developing balance in his swing that compliments his large timing mechanism. Pull side approach, looks to get the barrel out in front, slight hand coil creates whip of the barrel through the zone.
