+ An uncommitted name to know is INF Jacob Jelinek (St. Ignatius, 2026). Listed at 6-foot-2, 181-pounds, Jelinek has a lean build with a high waist and room to add more strength. He took a loud round of BP from the right side, showing some whip in the barrel with a flat path, utilizing a rhythm with some confidence as he got going, favoring his pull-side with a max EV of 99 mph, averaging 90 mph throughout his round with a max distance of 368’. His arm strength will allow him to stay on the left side of the infield (T88 mph), and he also has fluid actions/hands to pair. His footwork looks to be athletic as well, showing some timing and feel for the position while moving well laterally to both sides.

INF Jacob Jelinek (St. Ignatius, 2026) stands at 5-foot-11, 160-pounds and has all sorts of room for added strength in his projectable frame. The right-handed hitter gives off a confident presence in the box with a hitterish look; crouched and athletic setup, hangs foot into a controlled stride, hands work loosely through the zone with extension out front. Works deep into counts and has a good feel for the strike zone, rarely chasing and staying selective. Expect more power as he continues to fill out.

9/29/23

MIF Jacob Jelinek (Saint Ignatius, 2026) stood out as a projectable middle-infielder with a loose right-handed swing. Listed at 5-foot-11, 160-pounds, lean and wiry with room to add on strength. Quality defender up the middle with soft hands and fluid feet, showed some range to both sides of his glove.
