- Jessup is a fun prospect with swagger and moxie + a twitchy, undersized, 5-foot-8, 165 pounder. He is another super young prospect for the class that allows for some upside. The bat is what I like best here. He turns the barrel with twitch and produces 98-plus exits with an on-plane barrel and natural feel to lift. There is present gap2gap power with a 6.80 60-time elevating the offensive profile. A primary SS for now, I think Jessup profiles best in CF, and he should be able to seamlessly transition to 2B as well with the range to cover ground in the middle.
