Jacob Lombard SS, HS. DOB: B-R, T-R. 6' 3", 185 lbs.
Son of George Lombard and brother of George Lombard Jr. Jacob is a superior athlete who is considered a true shortstop. He's more of a slugger than George Jr or Grady Emerson with an uppercut swing that generates HR and gap power. Power translates to all fields. The price he pays for the uppercut swing is swing and miss, especially up in the zone. Perfect Game says he's a 6.11 runner in the 60 yd dash. Wow! Well proportioned lean frame with room to fill out. Probably behind Emerson due to Emerson's superior hit tool and lefty swing but Lombard is probably a top 5 talent. Could be drafted more in the 5-10 range due to teams preferring less risky college hitters.
