Jakob Vanderhave is a hard-throwing righty with upside, but still needs live reps at Army
Vanderhave’s appeal is clear: a right-handed pitcher with a fastball that reaches the mid-80s on recruiting reports and a lean, projectable 6-foot, 195-pound frame, plus he has already shown strikeout ability in limited Army action in 2024. Army’s roster notes that he did not appear in game action in 2025, so his current value is more about traits and development than a long statistical resume. He looks like a fit for teams that want size, arm strength, and room to grow rather than immediate proven production.
