SCHAUMBURG, IL - The Schaumburg Boomers, presented by Wintrust Community Banks, are proud to announce that the contract of Boomers starting pitcher Raul Jacobson has been purchased by the New York Mets organization. Jacobson will report to the Gulf Coast Mets of the rookie Gulf Coast League where he will remain a starter.
Jacobson, a 22-year-old Frontier League rookie, made his professional debut with the Schaumburg Boomers in June. The 6'1" 210 pound right-hander won two of his final three starts with the Boomers and posted 52 strikeouts along with a 2.76 ERA in 65 innings prior to his acquisition by the Mets.
