Bryant High School vs Star City High School
Zach Jackson, RHP, Bryant HS, 2016
Jackson is a 6-foot-2 220-pound right-hander, with a large frame and build. He works from an H ¾ arm slot with a short but quick arm. He pounded the strike zone on both sides of the plate with a fastball 84-87 mph with late sink. He complimented his fastball with a sharp slider with late 10/4 action thrown at 79-81 mph. Overall Jackson, shows advanced pitchability and a fast arm, he was very impressive in his 5 innings of work just 7 months of Tommy John.
