Justin Jackson is a 2007 righ hand hitting shortstop from T.C. Roberson HS, residing in Asheville, NC. Jackson has an athletic, long, lithe, sinewy build on his 6'2" 170 lb. frame. His body movements are smooth and fluid without trying to be so. Jackson has been a nationally acclaimed player and is no secret to the scouting community as he is a former high school teammate of 2005 1st round pick Cameron Maybin and highly regarded '06 grad RHP Josh Thrailkill. Jackon lived up to his advanced billing, even improving his stock. He was ranked #1 among PG National Top 100 position players and is just getting better and better. There has never been a question about Jackson's ability to play the shortstop position, but there was some question about what type of hitter he would become. Well, in Fayetteville he started to answer that question. Jackson showed an effortless swing and made a whole lot of plus barrel contact. He is still developing in a physical sense but the ball is already coming off his bat so much better than most figured it would at this stage of development. He looks now looks like a future three-hole who is going to hit for power and average, not to mention steal some bases. Jackson accelerates through contact and his hands really work in his swing. His hitting tools are now both above average, making Jackson one of the rare legitimate five tool prospects. In the field his actions are silky smooth and he is a pure joy to watch play. He flows to and through the ball well and has a plus arm. His hands are soft, his footwork polished, and frankly, there is not much to pick at. Jackson has Big League shortstop tools and they are already playable. His running has also moved to the plus side of the grading scale, with a 4.15 time home/1st and a laser timed 6.57 60 yard dash. At this point Jackson is a 1st round pick in Junen 2007.
PG Grade 10.0

Justin Jackson is a 2007 SS from T.C. Roberson High School in Asheville, NC, with a 6'2'', 172 lb. frame. Was named to the Top Prospect Team at the event. He is one of the most enjoyable underclass players in the country to watch, and he is just scratching the surface of what he is capable of doing. Jackson has good speed and first step quickness on the bases and in the field. Defensively he just makes everything look easy. He has great actions with smooth footwork and soft hands. When he fields a ball it just disappears into his glove before he shows his plus arm strength on his throws across the diamond. Jackson has good range with very fluid actions. He is a top level defensive shortstop. At the plate he has a level line drive swing plane with a smooth and easy swing. He hits the ball hard to all fields, and will have big time power as he continues to grow into his body. Jackson has good bat speed through the zone and hits through the ball. He is a top level talent, and it will be fun to follow him. He is also a very good student.
