Scouting Report

03/03/18- Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds with a loose, projectable frame. The athleticism and versatility on the field are present, while showing quick hands through the zone and some gap-to-gap power at the plate. During the game Jackson drove a ball over the left-center field wall for a two-run home run. Jackson has also been interesting on the mound and will be a strong follow for this spring an as uncommitted two-way 2020. 

02/17/18- Uncommitted. While he did not have the velocity we saw earlier in the month, you can see the potential. He is extremely athletic and the arm works. He will be a two-way player to follow and schools will surely do so as well.

01/27/18- Uncommitted. Currently stands at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds with an athletic, projectable build. Shows present strength. Stood out all over the field throughout the event. Offensively, he starts from an open stance with quick hands through the zone and strength in his swing, looking to drive the ball into the gaps with intent. Shows a feel for the barrel and the ball jumps off the bat. As he continues to become stronger, look for a jump in gap-to-gap power. Registered an exit velocity of 91 mph in the cage. In the field he displayed actions, ranged freely to his right and left, and showed an above average arm from short with his throws topping out at 87 mph. Makes the off-balance throws. Clocked in at 7.47 seconds for his 60 yard dash time. On the mound he he has a simple, repeatable windup with a quick arm throwing out of the high ¾ slot. Fastball mostly sat in the 81-85 mph range with life along with a 70-71 mph slider that showed depth while also mixing in a 78-79 mph change up. At times he can fall off to the first base side on his landing, but the athleticism and arm strength are apparent on the mound. More velocity to come as he adds to his frame. Very athletic two-way player who will be a strong follow throughout the spring. 

12/16/17- A physical infielder, he really stood out with the bat. Defensively, he is solid, but may end up sliding over to third with the chance to be much bigger and stronger. He has a broad shoulder, physical frame and present strength. Offensively, he showed present gap-to-gap power with above average power potential. He uses his strong lower half well and the ball came off of the bat well. A bat to follow.
