They are a rock solid program in the NSIC and he should be able to walk in and contribute right away. Jake is a fantastic baseball player and an even better young man. He has meant so much to our program here at Anoka-Ramsey the past couple of seasons. As a five-tool player, Jake was an impact player for us both on the mound, in the outfield, and at the plate. We are going to miss him tremendously, but I couldn't be more excited for his new opportunity. Mankato is a great next step for Jake, where I hope he will thrive. They are getting an exceptional player!"
