A wiry, 6-foot, 170-pound frame, with lots of room to still grow, Hite showed well with the bat in Top Tiers' first game Friday afternoon. The right-handed bat went 2-for-3 with an opposite-field line drive single and a triple. With present rhythm in the box, Hite uses his size to his advantage to drive the ball to all parts of the field. An athletic runner for the frame, moving well around the bases.
OF Jacob Hite (St. Laurence, 2028) showed an easy line drive approach at the event. A right-handed hitter, he maintained balance throughout his operation, and reached a max exit velocity of 95.4 mph with a peak distance of 320 feet. Hite also showed to have quick hands through the zone (avg. 21.6 mph hand speed), while also flashing bat speed (T74.4 mph).
Positional Profile: OF
Body: 5-8, 140-pounds. Well-proportioned frame.
Hit: RHH. Tall setup, toe-taps into a long stride. Some rhythm in the hands, looks to stay on top of the ball, balanced finish.

CB: 62-66 mph. Thrown with intent, gradual 10/4 action. Has feel for the glove side. T1917, 1890 average rpm.
CH: 66-68 mph. Thrown with intent, similar profile to the fastball. Developing. T1862, 1822 average rpm.
RHP/UTL Jacob Hite (Palos Heights, IL, 2028) had a day at the plate for Top Tier from start to finish on Sunday. First, in the semifinal game he went 3-for-4 with a triple and an RBI. Then, in the championship game he hit a double and also scored one run, too.
