View Draft Report
Jackson is a big-bodied high school outfielder with plenty of power now and more likely on the way in the future as he continues to develop. He is listed at 6-foot-3, 203 pounds currently with strength and a clean lefthanded swing. While scouts like Jackson’s swing mechanics, he could improve his pure hitting instincts. He has plus raw power and impressive bat speed but could improve his pitch recognition and swing decisions. As a fringe-average runner he might profile as a corner outfielder, but his plus arm strength could be an asset in right field—where he has the tools to profile as a prototypical power-hitting bat. Jackson is young for the class and doesn’t turn 18 until May. He is committed to Arizona State and has big league bloodlines as the younger brother of Dodgers righthander Andre Jackson.
