16U Cougars

COACHES COMMENTS:

Jackson is a LHP/OF out of East Paulding HS that is a potential MLB draft pick. With tools that are off the charts, Jackson already has drawn interest on the prospect circuit, being selected as an All-American for Perfect Game in the 14u Division. On the mound, Jackson has an electric fastball that can reach the upper 80’s. His breaking ball is a power slider, and his change-up can be devastating at times. As his command develops, Jackson has the potential to be an draftable arm. In the outfield, Jackson has great speed and is very instinctual, with the athleticism to play center and the arm to play right. At the plate, he projects to have gap power from the left side, and his ability to make adjustments will help him hit high level pitching.  As Jackson continues to get better, he will have endless opportunity.

Jackson has verbally committed to play college baseball at the University of South Carolina.
