It's also amazing that Jake started his first game in 2016 but only claimed an everyday position after Jacob Robson sustained an injury. It's also amazing that Jake played a sophomore season with a fracture in his hand. Still hit 300.
Jake is a once in 20 year player, maybe more. I don?t mean in numbers either. He plays the game with the mentality of Cobb, Rose, Ted Williams, Brock....he will scratch and grind and get the last drop of blood out of ever hit, base and out his frame will allow. His mind and love of the game will allow no less.
It is a privilege to watch him play. His dad played DB for bama the same way.
