Hall Says Bartlesville Influential in Baseball Career
It hopefully won’t be long before Jakob Hall is making his way to Fort Myers, Florida to get set for his professional career.
It was a bit more than a week ago when the former Bruin and Indian was picked in the eighth round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Minnesota Twins.
Hall was a four-year Bruin and a two-year Doenges Ford Indian. He chose to play his college baseball only 50-minutes away at Oral Roberts.
Hall says Bartlesville has been a vital part of his journey to professional baseball.
Hall and his dad came back to multiple Indian games this summer, while also going to a few Bruin games in the Tulsa area during ORU’s season.
Jakob talks about coming back to where he came from.
Hall’s draft pick was worth a signing bonus of more than $207,000.
Once Hall comes to an agreement with the Twins he will head to Fort Myers for workouts and then some of his first games as a professional.
