Jeff Jackson is a 2010 C/3B/1B with a 6'1'', 170 lb. frame from Lake Zurich IL, who attends Lake Zurich HS. He has a very projectable build for an 8th grader with good present strength. He has very smooth defensive skills not only for his age but for any young catcher handling good pitchers. He has a quick, easy release and very good arm strength that could project into a cannon when he gets older. His best pop time was 1.98 and Jackson made accurate throws. Offensively, Jackson takes an aggressive swing while maintaining good balance and has nice bat speed. He uses his hands to hit and has good leverage at contact. Jackson is going to have some power as he gets older and the ball comes off his bat pretty well right now. His approach with the bat works well with wood. Jackson is a top level follow who will be fun to watch develop over the next four years.

Jeff Jackson is a 2010 C/1B/3B from Lake Zurich, IL, with a 5'10'', 150 lb. frame. He is only in 8th grade and was one of the couple of youngest players at the showcase. Jackson has a lean, projectable body with wiry present strength. He threw 69 mph during catching drills with a best pop time of 2.05, outstanding for a catcher who just turned 14 years old. Jackson's defensive fundamentals are very, very sound. He has very good footwork behind the plate and is very balanced and controlled in all his actions. He did a very nice job blocking the ball in games and was not out of place at all with older players. Jackson brings the same sort of balance and advanced fundamentals to the offensive side of the game. He has very good rhythm to the ball and uses is hands to hit. Jackson has a line drive swing plane and present bat speed that's just going to keep getting better and better. He centered the ball on almost every swing and showed some gap to gap power. He's an excellent hitter for his age. Projecting 14 year olds is not always the best thing to do but it's hard to imagine Jackson not developing into a premium prospect if he has the work ethic and desire to do so. His present tools and fundamentals are excellent and he's very physically projectable as well. Keep a close eye on him!

Jeff Jackson is a 2010 catcher/infielder from Lake Zurich, Illinois, with a lean 5'8", 130 lb. frame. Jackson has soft hands and does a good job receiving. He has good footwork behind the plate and looks comfortable. He gets under the ball on his throws to second base, and needs to stay behind the ball better. He hits from a wide stance with solid bat speed. Jackson has a line drive swing plane, and centered the ball well in games. He has limited present power, but that could easily change as he continues to mature. He had some solid base hits in the showcase games to the pull side. Jackson was one of the youngest players at the event, but he has the tools to be a good catching prospect. He just needs time to grow stronger, and we think he will put in the time.
