He showed fair pop, hitting 12 home runs his second campaign and 13 in 1994. 1995, his final campaign, ended up being his best -- in 120 games, including 19 in his only stay at Triple A, Jacobs hit .302/.412/.482 with 14 home runs, 70 RBI and 69 walks (to 63 strikeouts). He played in the Mets and Montreal Expos systems that year.
