Jack is a solid player who possesses pop from both sides of the plate. He has a good eye, knowledge of the strike zone and shows excellent bat control. He is a patient hitter who can drive the ball and also protect the plate to prolong an at bat. Jack has the ability to use all fields and is outstanding in 2 strike counts. He is a player who can bat anywhere in the line-up. His strength lies in the ability to both move runners when needed and produce RBI’s with runners in scoring position. In the field, Jack has improved his speed over the last two years. As a corner outfielder he has outstanding feet and the ability to get a good read and then track the ball. A strong arm who throws with accuracy and a high baseball IQ allow him to be successful from either LF or RF. Although his strength defensively is in the outfield, for St. Pius X in 2020, Jack was moved to 1st base out of a need for a corner infielder. We felt his knowledge of the game, coachability and solid hand eye coordination / footwork would benefit our team and he did not disappoint. He handled the position very well. Wherever Jacks ends up attending school the baseball program will get an outstanding young man with high character. He performs in the classroom, on the field and in the community.
