Jake Berman is a 2008 SS/C/P with a 6'1'', 175 lb. frame from Southlake, TX who attends Ft Worth Country Day. Jake has a wiry, athletic frame with room to go. He is an aggressive and slick fielder with soft hands and good footwork. He takes his feet to the ball well and does a good job following his throws. His arm works on the infield, with a top throw across at 77 mph. Behind the plate is is fundamentally sound with his defensive approach, and his throws are accurate with some carry. At the plate he has a good approach, and a linear swing that plays gap to gap. He hits from both sides of the plate and stays balanced from both sides. He hits from an open stance with a high hand set, and produces some bat speed and quick hands. He is an aggressive runner on the basepaths with good instincts, and he hustles out of the box. On the mound he has a mechanically sound delivery and throws from a high 3/4 arm slot. He competes on the mound and throws a lot of strikes. Jake is also a good student.
