Class of 2018
Caleb Jackson, Brother Rice, 2018
Ranking: 11th player in Michigan’s 2018 Class
Scouting Report: Jackson has an athletic 6-foot, 180-pound build. He has an upright stance and gets his foot down early with his timing. He showed good bat speed with raw power to both gaps and the ability to keep his barrel through the hitting zone. His exit velocity was 83 mph and he ran a 4.49 home-to-1st. In the outfield, he shows excellent range when tracking fly balls and takes good routes. His velocity from the outfield was 83 mph.
College Outlook: Caleb is the highest ranked uncommitted OF from MI in his class. Has a athletic body and it translates well onto the field. A sport varsity athlete he also plays football for Michigan powerhouse Brother Rice. He projects as a CF type at the next level. A surge in power should come as he continues to physically mature. He’s a Division 1 prospect.
