Scouting report
A last-minute addition to the Hyannis roster after Cotuit dropped him, Jebb made a late push for MVP as one of the toughest outs and most dangerous baserunners on the Cape. He has a nice combination of bat-to-ball skills, easy plus speed and bat speed. He hit .356/.429/.490 with two home runs and 26 stolen bases in 38 games. Jebb looks to put the ball in play and use his plus speed. He has an innate ability to manipulate the barrel and rarely swung and missed this summer, with a strikeout rate of 14%. He identifies pitches well and makes strong swing decisions. While he’s primarily a groundball and line-drive hitter, Jebb showed the bat speed and ability to drive high fastballs. Some believe he could develop fringe to average game power. In the field, Jebb has plenty of range, but at times his infield actions are rough, his arm limited and his clock are lacking. Many evaluators think his best position is in center field because of his speed.
