Perfect Game scouting report: Body - Lean, athletic, long, fluid. Offense - square stance, easy swing, effortless, plus barrel, on time, accelerates thru contact, ball jumping off bat, sets up well, comfortable, has feel, hands work, good body control, has become a hitter, plus power projection. Defense - smooth actions, fluid to and thru ball, plus arm, tracks, soft hands, good feet, fun to watch play, polished, MLB SS.
Aflac All-American baseball profile: “outstanding defensive shortstop with good hands, excellent range and a strong arm. His excellent speed enables him to range deep in the hole, up the middle and also aids his prowess on the basepaths.”
Many scouts describe Jackson as the best all-around position player in the draft. His defense is already exceptional, and he will be one of the fastest players drafted in 2007. His bat is still developing but experts have commented on his natural ability at the plate an believe it will continue to develop. Jackson is rumored to be advised by Scott Boras, making his signing more challenging yet not impossible. Like Burgess, Jackson has committed to Arizona State. He is likely a top 10 selection at this point.

Do you still go to Pastor Miles’ church? I lost your phone number. Why don’t you call me sometimes? I lost your phone number. When are you coming back to our church? When was the last time you saw Tiffany?
