Jakson Reetz
6-16-13 - • Versatile Jakson Reetz
stood out in many facets of the game. During Friday’s evaluations, he showed
one of the strongest arms of any catcher and quick feet behind the plate. Then
he made a tough play in right field on Saturday by chasing down a long fly ball
to the warning track. The Nebraska commit sat 88-90 mph on the mound, touching
91. Yet Reetz, who attends Norris High in Hickman, Neb., saved his loudest
performance for the plate. The 6-foot-1, 195-pounder took quality at-bats and
made consistent, hard contact. He smacked a triple in the seventh inning. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tournament-of-stars-promising-power-outlook-for-2014/

7-24-13 - Jakson Reetz, c/of/rhp, Norris, Hickman,
Neb./Marucci Elite
At 6-foot-1, 195 pounds with a compact build and powerful lower half, the
strong-bodied Reetz is an athletic backstop. Reetz is a three-sport athlete who
also plays quarterback and point guard. He has advanced defensive skills behind
the plate and a strong arm capable of 1.95-2.00 second pop times. Holding the
bat close to his head and using an aggressive stride, Reetz has a quick,
line-drive oriented swing and has hit well in games. His natural strength gives
him gap power. He has enough speed and athleticism to play the outfield. On the
mound, Reetz sits 88-90 mph and touches 91. He is committed to Nebraska, where
his father played football. http://www.baseballamerica.com/draft/tyler-koleks-heavy-fastball-among-tournament-of-stars-standouts/
7-25-13 – Top 30 High School Prospects For 2014 Draft - 17. Jakson Reetz,
C/RHP, Norris HS (NE) - 6'1/195, R/R, Draft Day Age: 18.43, Nebraska commit -
Quick Take: Reetz is a great athlete with solid average speed and has a chance
to stick behind the plate with an above average arm and very quick release. At
the plate, he's more a contact hitter that is very productive in games though
he flashes more power in BP that could find it's way into his game swing down
the line. He's also not bad on the mound, sitting 88-91 with an above average
77-80 mph slider. http://sbb.scout.com/2/1310090.html
8-10-13 - New Balance Area Code games -
Jakson Reetz (NE) hit well today. He has squared up the ball each game
and stroked a ball into left for a base hit in the first. http://prospectinsider.com/view/2013-area-codes:-day-4-notes/
8-14-13 – Through The Fence – Top 50 Prospects – 26. Jakson Reetz, C/RHP,
Norris HS (NE) - A terrific athlete and two-way player, the 6’-1”, 200-pound
right-hander’s ability to stick behind the plate make him a highly touted
prospect. More of a line drive hitter now, more power should come as he
matures, and he has the bat speed to back it up. Can hit the low-90s on the
mound so his arm plays well behind the plate and he makes for a big target.
Committed to Nebraska. http://throughthefencebaseball.com/2014-mlb-draft-top-50-prospects/36463#mwWwsFxSUZy7YC5V.99
8-16-13 - 11th All-American Classic - Jakson Reetz | C/ RHP/OF | Norris
HS (Hickman, NE) - eight/Weight: 6-foot-1, 190 pounds B/T: R/R Draft Day Age: 18 years, 5 months Commitment: Nebraska - History: Reetz entered
the summer as a talented but raw backstop, flashing big athleticism and almost
casual actions on the field, belying his loud and impactful tools. In the
Metrodome in June, Reetz stood out at the PG National Showcase for his
catch-and-throw game, gunning down multiple baserunners and showing sub-2.0 pop
times to second, in addition to a couple of hard hit balls, in game. He has
built on that showcase throughout the summer, making loud contact with
increasing regularity throughout his showcase and tournament stops. Like
Reid-Foley and McKinney, Reetz’s Tournament of Stars performance at the end of
June bought him a ticket to the USA Baseball 18U Team Trials, and the Nebraska
commit continued a successful summer with impressive showings at both the
Perfect Game 17U National Championship in July and the Area Code Games last
week. - Development: Reetz added another impressing showing to his summer,
earning MVP honors for the game. While he struggled some handling the arms
while behind the plate, no player had a greater impact offensively. Reetz went
2-for-4 with a long opposite-field double off of hard-throwing Dylan Cease, and
added three stolen bases to his output over the course of his four trips to the
plate. There is simply no ignoring the growth in Reetz’s game over the past two
months, and he’ll get a chance to add to his rapidly expanding resume should he
earn a spot on the final USA Baseball 18U squad. His Marucci Elite travel club
will be one of the favorites at the final event of the scouting circuit—the
WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Florida this October—and, should he attend,
Reetz will be one of the most highly scouted catchers in the tournament. He’ll
almost certainly enter the spring as the top draft prospect in the Cornhusker
State. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=21537
