Lou Jacobs  
Catcher | Victoria Islanders

Hitting
He has the mental discipline to handle clutch situations. Jacobs was a line-drive hitter when he first came up, but over the last few years has become more of a true home-run hitter, lofting more high flyballs. He hits righthanders and lefthanders with equal consistency. His strength is in the gaps.

Baserunning & Defense
He might not deliver for you at the plate, but Jacobs can certainly deliver in the field. He is an exceptional fielder. His arm is accurate enough. Jacobs has below-average speed and is a poor baserunner.

2025 Outlook
The Victoria Islanders signed him to a long-term contract, but don't think they won't drop Jacobs like a hot potato if something better comes along.
