Roberts

INF Jackson Roberts (Yorkville, 2024) is a right-handed with whippy/long-levers that create easy bat-speed through the zone. He works with a level path to the ball while staying up the middle for a majority of his round of BP, recording a max exit velocity of 90 mph. Defensively, Roberts showed a mature presence on the infield, pairing his soft hands and quick feet with a clear understanding of angles to balls to both sides of his glove. On top of his defensive IQ, he also possesses a strong arm, reaching up to 82 mph across the diamond with carry and life out of the hand.
