Uncommitted. Jackson III stands at a physical and athletic 5’9” 163lb frame. He really impressed throughout the tournament, showing advanced athleticism and good feel for the barrel. At the plate, he uses a controlled toe tap load with strong hands that he uses to create frequent leverage to the pull-side. Showed really advanced raw power for the class, posting exit velocities as high as 97mph. Also an impressive 2 sport star, as he excels on the football field as well as the diamond. Highest level athlete with immense potential.
