Jesse is a hard-working, detail-oriented player who prides himself on being a great leader and teammate.  As a hitter, he works counts well and has gap-to-gap power with home run ability.

He can pitch, as necessary, with a fastball that ranges in the mid-80s (mph), as well as a change-up and curve.  He has a time of 6.9 seconds in the 60-yard dash.

Jesse says, “I was elected by my teammates to serve as a member of the leadership council for my final two college seasons, and I was responsible for helping lead practice on many days and help hold our team to a high standard of focus and execution. I take my responsibility as a teammate very seriously.”

Russell Houston, former head baseball coach for McCallum High School in Austin, TX, says, “Jesse is a great young man who exhibits all the qualities that you would want in a person – hard-working, honest, and loyal.  Not only is he a great person, but he’s also a very talented baseball player and leader.”
