The Boston Red Sox drafted Jacobs in the tenth round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft. Kevin Goldstein of Baseball Prospectus ranked Jacobs as the 46th best prospect in baseball prior to the 2012 season.[1]

On July 12, 2013, Jacobs was traded to the Chicago White Sox for pitcher Matt Thornton and cash.[2] He was ranked the #7 ranked prospect in the White Sox organization.[3] After the trade, Jacobs played for Double-A Birmingham Barons. He finished the 2013 season combined hitting .244 in 455 at bats, 33 doubles, 13 home runs, 66 runs batted in, 44 walks, 140 strikeouts, and 12 stolen bases. After the 2013 season, Jacobs was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks.[4]

On January 10, 2015, Jacobs signed a minor league deal with the Kansas City Royals, but he was released during spring training. On April 10, he signed with the Traverse City Beach Bums of the independent Frontier League.[5]
