In an effort to offer the most complete coverage possible of prep baseball in the State of Pennsylvania, Prep Baseball Report has added Jacob Gill to the staff. While he will have a wide range of duties with Prep Baseball Report Pennsylvania, Gill's main priority will be to evaluate and scout talented prospects in the Philadelphia region.

                                            

Jacob Gill joins PBR with seven years of collegiate coaching experience under his belt.  For the 2009-2012 seasons, he served as the Recruiting Coordinator at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia. Gill mentored a number of Atlantic-10 All-Conference performers during his four years, while the 2012 team tied the program's single-season record for wins and reached the Atlantic-10 tournament for the first time in school history.  His knowledge of the high school and travel baseball programs in the Philadelphia region is a welcome addition.

Gill spent the 2006-2008 campaigns at the University of Evansville in Evansville, IN.  The 2006 squad won the school's first-ever regular-season and Missouri Valley Conference tournament championships, while Gill worked with the infield defense that heavily contributed to UE finishing with the twelfth best team fielding percentage (.975) in NCAA Division I.

Prior to entering collegiate coaching, Gill worked as an Associate Scout for the Kansas City Royals (2005) and a Baseball Operations Intern for the Cleveland Indians (2003).  He also coached a Babe Ruth League team in Chicago for four summers ('01-'02, '04-'05) and guided the league all-star team to a seventh-place finish at the 2002 Babe Ruth World Series. 

During his college years, Gill served as a Student Manager at Stanford University, during which time the team reached the College World Series three times.
