Jakob King '20 Recruiting Profile

    My name is Jakob King, and I am 17 years old, a junior in high school. I am a 6’1”, 225-pound pitcher. Currently, in addition to team practices, I am participating in a strength program at BRX Performance in order to increase my numbers further: speed, exit velocity, pitching velocity, etc. I have an extremely good work ethic, I am the first one at practice and the last to leave. I love to put in the extra work to better myself.

    In addition, I value school very highly, and my academic achievements are very important to me. I am enrolled in an ACT prep course, in an effort to increase my ACT score. My goal is to come out of high school in the top 10 percent so that I can continue my academic career at a good school. I hope to combine playing baseball at the collegiate level with my goal of becoming an engineer.
