“Jacob’s just an all-around great kid on and off the baseball field,” JDHS head coach Luke Adams said. “He’s got a great heart, great character. Keeps everything light in practice and keeps the energy good. Overall he has really shown a lot of leadership just by his demeanor.”

“I’ve worked with Jacob for a while now in the transition between the two schools. He’s a guy I’ve been able to talk to, kind of get a read on the group, and get some insight on what we needed to do as a program to bring this whole group together and be competitive. He plays a really important role in this program purely because of his work ethic and the fact that he understands that when his time is called he needs to go perform.”

“When it’s not, he’s got a very important role to be supportive of his teammates and he does it with class and style. It’s a great leadership quality. He’s not always the loudest kid in the room and not always a kid that is the hero at the end of the night, but he is an outstanding human being and he’s going to do great things moving forward. Right now country wise email marketing list he’s going to help us in the next couple of weeks so we make that run for state.”

“I think he’s just got a little keen, quiet sense of humor and everybody likes him, and he treats everybody with respect,” Adams said. “So it’s not one thing or another. It’s kind of the same way he plays the game. You know what you’re gonna get from Jacob. He’s gonna give you his best effort all the time, but he doesn’t have a panic mode. He just goes out there and does what he can. That’s what we can expect from him. We put a lot more pressure on him to step up his game late in the season just to kind of give us another level and he’s risen to that occasion. He’s been a JD kid for his career here, a great kid.”
