LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2024 California High School All-State Games (Invite Only)
Jacob Draper is a 2025 RHP/1B/OF with a 6-2 145 lb. frame from Palmdale, CA who attends Paraclete. Long and lean build with lots of room to get stronger. Works from the stretch on the mound with a long and loose arm action and a high 3/4's arm slot, keeps his front side tucked and loaded well, gets into his lower half well with good extension to the plate, smooth and low effort mechanics. Fastball topped out at 81 mph with nice running life that got on right handed hitter's hands. Slider showed good depth with some feel for the zone, also flashed developing change up. Lots more in there if he can get stronger. Showed his arm strength well from the outfield, got on top of his throws and made accurate throws, promising for his development on the mound. Right handed hitter, hits from a closed stance with a small leg raise trigger, has a short downhill swing path, upper body swing, got some jump when he got extended through contact, mid field to opposite field contact. Good student.
