Jakob Demarest is a 2017 RHP/IF with a 6-4 200 lb. frame from San Diego, CA who attends Scripps Ranch HS. Large frame, lean build with wiry strength. Projects for additional size with strength. Right handed pitcher with a high leg lift delivery. Shows a quick, loose arm action for a three-quarters arm slot. Uses lower half well while driving on line to the plate with an extended stride. Lower half drive and arm angle create solid downhill plane on a fastball sat in the upper 70's to low 80's, topped at 82 mph. Also showed a two-seam fastball in the upper 70's that had good arm side life when located down in the strike zone. Curveball has 12/6 shape with tighter spin and good depth due to quick arm action.
