Jakob Schulz Pronunciation

 

Head coach Tim Corbin on Schulz: “Jakob has been a very consistent worker in our program and is a true self-starter. He routinely spends extra time in the lab, the weight room, and in the conditioning aspects of pitching, showing a strong commitment to his craft. Jakob has continued to make meaningful progress and has shown increased confidence in his ability to get hitters out, particularly in shorter stints out of the bullpen. His summer in the Cape Cod League was an important part of his development and contributed to his growth. Jakob possesses a quality fastball and the ability to decelerate the ball in multiple ways, giving him the tools to compete effectively. He continues to grow as a competitor and is driven by team achievement, naturally celebrating and supporting his teammates.”
