RHP Kenneth Jackson (Simeon, 2023) is a Southeastern CC commit with a long, loose arm and intriguing stuff. Jackson sat 82-85 mph and paired it with an upper-60s breaking ball and 69-72 splitter that featured tumbling action in all directions. Upside arm with more velocity to come down the road.
Positional Profile: 3B/RHP
Body: 6-1, 185-pounds. High waisted, athletic frame with room for added muscle.
Hit: RHH. Balanced setup, slightly open, works back to even. Bat-speed through the zone with a flat path, middle/pull approach.
Power: 86 max exit velocity, averaged 78.1 mph. 304’ max distance.
Arm: RH. INF - 81 mph. Long arm action into a 3/4 slot.
Defense: Steady actions, sure-handed, two-hand gather.
Run: 7.71 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Fluid, athletic, slight drop and drive delivery. Works closed down the mound and lands on balance.
Arm Action: RH. Long, loose arm action, high 3/4 slot.
FB: T85, 82-85 mph. Lively out of the hand, late run. Hops through the zone at times. T2291, 2201 average rpm.
CB: 66-69 mph. Thrown with intent, 11/5 shape, depth at times. T1898, 1837 average rpm.
SPLT: 69-72 mph. Tumble action, around the zone, advanced action at times.
RHP Kenneth Jackson (Simeon, 2023) stands at an athletic 6-foot-1, 180-pounds. The right-hander repeats his delivery and adds deception while working across his body, running his fastball up to 82 mph with some feel for three off-speed offerings. His splitter looked to be his best change-of-pace offering throughout his gameplay, sinking to the bottom of the zone at 77 mph. He also went to a slider and a curveball, both playing with similar sweeping action at 66-69 mph.
Positional Profile: RHP
Body: 6-1, 180-pounds. Athletic build.
Delivery: Controlled tempo throughout, medium/high leg-lift into balance point, drop/drive lower-half, stride works in-line to the plate. In-game stats: 3 IP, 1 K, 2H, 1 BB, 1 R
Arm Action: RH. Long reach out of the glove into a 3/4 slot.
FB: T82.4, 77-82 mph. Mostly straight with some finish through the zone. T2192, 2029 average rpm.
CB: 64-66 mph. Gradual 11/5 shape. T2028, 1916 average rpm.

One of the biggest winners on the mound from Saturday’s event was RHP Kenneth Jackson (Simeon, 2023). The strong right-hander stands at 6-foot, 175 pounds with evenly distributed strength. From a compact/repeatable delivery, Jackson utilizes a flexible drop/drive lower half to create momentum down the mound, striding in-line to the plate. He worked his fastball up to 85.1 mph with a loose/quick high slot, running to his arm-side naturally. His breaking ball looked to be his best secondary offering, playing off a sharp 11/5 plane with depth and feel for the zone at 65-69 mph. Jackson also featured a true splitter to round out his arsenal, diving to the bottom of the zone repeatedly while sitting at 69-70 mph.
