Hackett saw time as a freshman for Chesterton, while his tools have continued to elevate during multiple looks this winter. There is some physicality to the 6-foot-1, 185 pound frame that helps produce 97-plus exits. The swing is short with a firm front leg & scissor-style lower half moves. Hackett reached 79 from the crouch with pops into the 1.9s with an above average run tool present (6.99).
- Hackett is a backstop we've seen a good amount of after getting everyday time for sectional champions Chesterton as a freshman. The athleticism has trended nicely, as he turned in a 7.04 60-yard dash at this event with a more-athletic looking 6-foot, 180 lb frame. Offensively, the swing works with a faster pace and some rigidness to a high hand load. He strides closed and hits behind a firm front leg with an intentful swing. The swing plane works steep and direct, aimed to backspin balls at the front of the hitting zone. There is above average barrel strength with a peak exit at 97-plus. As a defender, Hackett showed average receiving skills with a 76 mph arm from the crouch and an above average transfer to pair.
