Jake Wendell is a 2020 3B/1B with a 5-8 155 lb. frame from Jackson, NJ who attends Jackson Memorial High School. Young, athletic build with square shoulders and a lean, projectable frame with room to fill throughout. Ran a 7.51 60-yard dash. Primary third baseman, fields the ball out front and incorporates some lower half into actions, remains upright at release, full arm action through the back, gets on top of throws, arm strength and carry will continue to develop. Similar full arm action from first base, gets on top of throws well, short steps coming off the bag, balanced when pivoting, picks well in the dirt. Lefthanded hitter, begins with an upright and slightly open stance with a high hand set in the box. Pull side approach in the box, occasionally gets around the ball but shows quickness to hands and a line drive swing plane through the zone. Solid contact off the barrel to pull side with sound bat speed, gets uphill at times with path, projects nicely.
