UNC freshman RHP Jake Cackovic brings a projectable power frame and early buzz
Cackovic is a 6-foot-7, right-handed freshman at North Carolina whose size, athleticism and arm-strength projection make him an intriguing long-term fit on the mound. Recruiting and prep reports show a fastball that has already climbed into the upper 80s and a delivery that flashes sink, run and easy leverage, while UNC’s own roster notes his all-state recognition. The less-visible appeal is upside: he’s still developing, but the combination of length, athletic feel and coachable traits gives him real starter potential if his stuff keeps trending up.
