New Met - 1B - Jake Kuebler


1B Jake Kuebler signed.

One of three in-state products in this recruiting class, Kuebler plays baseball for Coach Randy Brohlorst at Lincoln Southeast...has been a three-year starter for the Knights, earning all-city honors in each of the last two seasons...was a Second-Team Super-State selection by the Lincoln Journal Star in 2007, hitting .429 with three homers and 25 RBIs...also posted a 1.52 ERA while striking out 29 over 27.2 innings of work...is the cousin of former National Player of the Year and current KC Royal Alex Gordon.

“Jake is probably one of the most intriguing guys in this class. He has a very high ceiling and the more you see him, the more you appreciate the things he does on the diamond. At 6-4, 195, he is starting to fill out a frame that could easily add 15-20 more pounds without losing any of the athleticism he possesses. He is a natural athlete who has a plus arm that reaches the low 90s. He projects as both a pitcher and a corner infielder who could hit with power.”
