Jacob Reimer
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his track record as a productive minor league hitter with emerging pull-side power, Reimer projects as a bat-first corner infielder with a realistic shot at a second-division regular or strong bench role. The path to that outcome runs through sustaining on-base skills while ensuring the game power plays consistently against major league velocity and spin. Defensively, he should be adequate at third with enough arm and hands, but not so impactful that he can carry a below-average bat, so offensive production will need to stay at least solid for him to hold a regular job. If the hit tool settles closer to fringe-average and power remains more 15–20 homer than 25+, he may fit as a versatile corner option who can spot-start and contribute off the bench. Continued incremental gains in approach and conditioning, rather than a big tools jump, are the likely drivers of his development.
