One of the biggest winners in attendance was OF/RHP Matthew Jackson (Prospect, 2026). Jackson is listed at a projectable 6-foot, 160-pounds with a lean build and plenty of room to fill out. His name is a common theme among the leaderboards below in multiple categories. The right-handed hitter has a quick and flat swing through the zone; creating the top Blast metrics across the board in the event. He's quality defender in the outfield as well; playing through the ball aggressively with reliable hands and a strong arm (T80 mph OF). His arm strength easily translates to the mound, where he reached up to 79.6 mph with his fastball with a max IVB of 21.2 and max horizontal movement of 19.3 inches. He showed some feel for an 11/5 curveball at 64-65 mph and fading changeup 65-68 mph.

Standing at a lean 6-foot-, 160-pounds, Jackson has plenty of upside to dream on in the coming years. The right-handed hitter showed to have some bat-speed while staying long through the zone, his bat stays on plane while creating easy pop, reaching up to 92.7 mph for his max exit velocity with a max distance of 338’. In the outfield, Jackson plays aggressively through the ball with steady hands. His arm plays with carry to his target, reaching up to 82 mph from a crow-hop. He also ran to a 7.19 60-Yard Dash.
