11/03/2024 - National Showcase - Salem, VA Jackson has shown steady progress in his baseball skills, demonstrating notable improvements across multiple areas. Behind the plate, he features a squared setup, tracking pitches well with soft hands and a clean glove presentation. He utilizes his body effectively during blocking but would benefit from getting his body down more quickly. His pop times have improved significantly, recording a personal best of 2.40 with accurate throws. Continued arm-strength development through a long-toss program will help lower those times further. At third base, Jackson displays active footwork, though he needs to attack the ball more aggressively and play through it with his body. His glove action is clean but would improve with more consistent presentation out front. Increasing foot quickness will enhance his range at the hot corner. At the plate, Jackson starts from a square, athletic setup with loose hands that drive a level swing path. His consistent line-drive approach generates solid contact, with his best power showing to the pull side. As he learns to better engage his lower half, his power potential will continue to grow.

Tool Grade Scale

Our main goals with the BF "10-70" Scouting Scale are to provide the player with a realistic evaluation of his "PRESENT" abilities (what he can do today), and to provide college coaches with information they can use to identify and/or compare potential recruits.

Tools are graded for all players and pitchers, regardless of age or graduation year. However, for High School players we use only grades 20-70 (grades 10-18 do not apply), while for Middle School players we use only grades 10-52 (grades 55-70 do not apply).
