- Hackett is a backstop we've seen a good amount of after getting everyday time for sectional champions Chesterton as a freshman. The athleticism has trended nicely, as he turned in a 7.04 60-yard dash at this event with a more-athletic looking 6-foot, 180 lb frame. Offensively, the swing works with a faster pace and some rigidness to a high hand load. He strides closed and hits behind a firm front leg with an intentful swing. The swing plane works steep and direct, aimed to backspin balls at the front of the hitting zone. There is above average barrel strength with a peak exit at 97-plus. As a defender, Hackett showed average receiving skills with a 76 mph arm from the crouch and an above average transfer to pair.
