Tyler Jackson is a 2022 catcher from North Springs Charter School and checks in at 5-foot-9, 145-pounds. Jackson showed good bat-speed at the Underclass Trials and made consistent hard contact and used the entire field. He showed excellent right-handed actions in the batters box. HIs feet and hands worked well behind the plate and has projectability to what he is doing behind the plate. Will be one to watch closely over the next year.
Jackson has a well proportioned frame at 5-foot-9, 145 pounds. He has not yet started to get into strength, but has good actions and a solid foundation behind the plate and in the batters box. As a hitter he is balanced and on time, making consistent contact (77 mph exit velocity). Behind the plate Jackson's athleticism shows up, as he moves well and is able to be quick and accurate (2.11-2.23 pop times) with his throws. Doing so mostly we good footwork. Plenty of upside to this young, projectable and athletic backstop.
