LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2017 Sunshine Northeast Showcase
Jacob Denner is a 2019 LHP/1B with a 6-1 180 lb. frame from Closter, NJ who attends Bergen Catholic. Large, athletic frame with broad shoulders and present strength proportioned throughout, strong lower half which he incorporates well on the mound. Primary lefthanded pitcher, begins with leg lift just up past belt, does a nice job of getting tall on back side before striding on line down the mound. Solid balance and tempo to delivery, repeats very well for age. Full arm action through the back, works to a three-quarters arm slot, ball comes out clean and shows extension out front. Fastball sat 80-82 mph, played up from ability to pound down in the zone at knees, occasional cut action and can get in on hitters. Maintained out of stretch, nice feel for curveball and can add/subtract to it with shape and velocity, will continue to develop with maintained arm speed. Works ahead in count and has comfort to mix consistently, flashed a straight changeup at 74 mph. Advanced feel overall and still projects well. Named to Sunshine Northeast Top Prospect List. Excellent Student.
