Jake Hewitt RHP (Penfield HS, 2015)

8-16-14
Pitching - Hewitt stands 6-foot-1 195-pounds and has an athletic build. On the bump he starts upright with good balance over the rubber. He drives hard off his back leg going forward throwing from a mid ¾ slot with good shoulder direction. His fastball sat 82-83 mph with good late arm action and the ability to work both sides of the plate. His curveball shows signs of late 10/4 shape but slows his arm down. He finishes very well using great extension and length over his front side falling to the first base side.

3B/Hitting - From 3B he uses smooth baseball actions getting around the baseball, fields to his glove side, quick footwork, clean transfer with an average release. He throws with a smooth arm action, from a high ¾ slot at 78 mph across the diamond getting his back side through the ball. At the plate his approach is open with an upright stance. On the pitch he brings his hands back and slightly down, gets his front back to even at shoulder width apart, drives his hands through the baseball with above average hand speed confirmed by his 89 mph exit velocity, extension after contact and a high finish. Spins on his back foot some over rotating his hips.
