LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2007 National Showcase
Jacob Sylvester is a 2008 C with a 6'0'', 190 lb. frame from Livermore, CA who attends Livermore HS. He has a strong build, especially in his lower half. Sylvester is a high energy defensive catcher who shows leadership ability behind the plate. He makes quick, on line, accurate throws and shows some agility and quickness behind the plate. His hands could stand some softening but all the basic catching tools/skills are there. Offensively, Sylvester hits from a spread/no stride approach and has some strength in his hands when he gets the bat head out. He can be long with his swing and is best when he keeps it short and stays in side the ball. Sylvester is a excellent student.
