Bio
As a Freshman (2020): Played in four games with two starts for the Zips in a shortened season due to COVID-19 ... recorded a 13.09 ERA in 11.0 innings of action ... had five walks and five strikeouts ... threw a season-high 3.2 innings twice ... had two strikeouts at Lamar ... earned first start on the mound in game three at Pepperdine ... had a strikeout and two walks in 3.2 innings of work.
High School: Three-year letterwinner for coach Ryan Conwell at Cowan HS ... Academic All-Conference as a junior ... All-Mid-Eastern Conference as a sophomore.
Personal: Born February 21, 2001 ... parents are Douglas Clark and Michelle Clark ... has a younger sister Sarah ... father. played tennis for Huntington College ... intends to study exercise science.
From Banfield: “A big, physical high school lefty, Clark showed advanced feel for a changeup with a loose arm action at our first prospect camp. Jacob is the type of guy who could potentially profile as a starter down the road as he’s a proven strike thrower with feel, and one I think will really develop under Coach McKinney’s guidance. He’s also another strong student posting a 3.6 GPA.”
