He contributed to his team's efforts with 3 runs batted in, although he did not hit any home runs and did not steal any bases. Jacobs' career unfolded during a transitional period in baseball, just after the deadball era, which had significantly influenced the style of play and the offensive output of players. His tenure in the majors was short-lived, lasting from June 13, 1918, to August 24, 1918, but he remains a part of baseball history as one of the many players who contributed to the early development of the game in the 20th century.
