Jacob Paluczak: RHP/OF, (2025) North Royalton, OH. 6-foot, 160-pound athletic projectable build. (66.9 mph bat speed average). (19.0 mph hand speed average). Begins in an open stance with a quick load, then uses a leg kick. Had a long swing plane, above average bat speed and good extension on his finish. Barreled up multiple balls with some loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Confident on the mound, used a high ¾ arm angle and a loose clean arm action while showing consistent arm speed. Stretch only type pitcher and uses easy effort. Showed strong balance point with in line shoulders. Lands soft with a clean finish. (Max spin 2232; Avg 2086).
