Jebb made an impact on Michigan State’s program as a freshman, when he made the Big Ten All-Freshman team in 2021 and was one of the team leaders in hits. He then followed up with an even better sophomore campaign, where he slashed .356/.429/.490 with 10 doubles and 20 stolen bases. Following the season he played in the Cape Cod League, where he ranked as the No. 3 prospect in the circuit and continued to hit for average and showcase his speed on the bases. During his 2023 draft season Jebb hit .337/.438/.495 with a 13.3% walk rate and 11.6% strikeout rate. A 6-foot-1, 185-pound lefthanded hitter, Jebb has an unorthodox swing, with a crouched and hunched over stance and slappy approach designed to spray line drives to all fields. He does have solid bat speed, and can occasionally put a bit of a charge into the ball when he gets extended to his pull side, but it’s certainly a contact-over-power sort of approach that caters to Jebb’s strengths. His pure bat-to-ball skills are strong, and he managed an 88% contact rate in 2023, including a 93% in-zone contact rate to go with solid pitch recognition. Jebb is a plus runner and has solid range defensively, but needs to improve his infield actions and arm strength at shortstop. Center field could be a possibility for him as well.
