Jacobus continues to establish himself as one of the top follows in Arizona’s 2028 class. Went 3-4 with a pair of RBIs and showed mature at bats, often going deep into counts and shortening up with two strikes to find his way on base (even drag bunted down 1B line for one of his hits). Aggressive, high baseball IQ player who takes the extra 90ft, an impact presence in the lineup.
Ben Jacobus, an outfielder set to attend Corona Del Sol in the fall of 2024, put together arguably the most mature rounds of batting practice among all participants at the event. He consistently drove balls to the big part of the field and sprayed the gaps with low line drives. As Jacobus continues to grow and gain strength, he is poised to become one of the top prospects in the 2028 class. His advanced approach at the plate and ability to make solid contact highlight his potential for significant development and success in the coming years.
Ben Jacobus, a promising 2028 graduate set to enroll at Corona Del Sol High School, showcased exceptional talent during the recent Rising Stars event. With a smooth left-handed swing, Jacobus impressed during batting practice, consistently making solid contact to various parts of the field. His defensive skills in the outfield were equally impressive, demonstrating clean actions and reliability while fielding. Jacobus's standout performance suggests he is a top prospect to watch as he embarks on his high school baseball journey, with the potential to make a significant impact for Corona Del Sol in the future.
