11-14-13 - Michael Schwartze - The two top names behind
Jackson are Clovis (Calif.) High School shortstop Jacob Gatewood and T.C. Robertson (Ashville, N.C.) High School
outfielder Braxton Davidson. Gatewood has big upside with huge raw power, but
showed contact issues over the summer, as his swing was often stuck in
batting-practice mode during games leading to a lot of swings and misses.
“Gatewood may have the highest ceiling because there’s a chance he plays up the
middle,” an assistant scouting director said after the Area Code Games in Long
Beach. “There’s a lot to like and a lot to dream on with him. Am I concerned
about his swing? A little bit. He’s got time to figure it out.” http://www.studentsports.com/blog/2013/11/13/baseball-jupiter-wraps-up-2013-showcase-circuit/
11-6-13 – Todd Gold – WWBA World Championship – Todd Isaacs (2014 OF, Toronto Blue Jays
Scout Team) - Isaacs stood out on an all-prospect team that was highlighted by
one of the highest ceiling players in the class (Jacob Gatewood). He slashed
line drives and hard ground balls evenly between the pullside, opposite field
and up the middle. His impressive spray chart from his .500/.533/.500 showing
is impressive in it's even distribution, even putting down perfect bunts for
hits down each baseline. His carrying tool is his speed and as a present burner
he should be able to chew up acres of real estate centerfield. His slash and
run skillset is a good fit for his center field profile and his solid arm
strength is an added bonus there. http://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=9157
