LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 Sunshine East Showcase
Jake Owen is a 2025 OF/RHP with a 6-1 170 lb. frame from Wesley Chapel, FL who attends Tampa Catholic. Long and lean athletic build with plenty of room to get stronger. 7.55 runner in the sixty. Primary outfielder on defense, has loose athletic actions on defense, fields cleanly to the side with a long gather and arm action, arm works well and makes accurate throws. Right handed hitter, hits from a wide straight stance with a short inside swing path, stays balanced and under control, works middle away with a high contact approach, swung it well in the games and found barrels. Also pitched and has potential on the mound. High leg raise delivery with a long arm takeaway to a mid 3/4's arm slot. Fastball worked mostly in the low 80's and topped out at 85 mph, gets big running life on his fastball from his arm slot. Slider was a nice pitch with good spin, had better command and feel for his slider than his fastball this outing. Change up had some quality with good arm speed and some fading life. Can see this improving across the board on the mound with additional strength and repetitions. Good student. Named to the Sunshine East Showcase Top Prospect List.
