LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2021 14U National Showcase
Jackson Roper is a 2025 SS/RHP, 2B, OF with a 5-10 155 lb. frame from Orange Park, FL who attends Bishop John J. Snyder. Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and some present strength to frame, additional room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.40 60-yard dash. Primary shortstop, fields the ball out front and shows smoothness and fluidity to actions, effort at release when letting it go and shows big arm strength and carry across the diamond, repeats actions. Also pitched, medium length to arm circle through the backside working to a high three-quarters release point, on line stride down the mound. Will continue to refine a consistent release point on fastball, topped out at 80 mph, shows running life and plays best up in the zone; 11-5 shape with tight spin and slurvey finish through the zone. Right-handed hitter, straight stance in the box and utilizes a simple approach at the plate; stays balanced with swing and worked to the middle of the field with line drive contact. Quickness to hands and generates present bat speed through the zone, can continue to implement additional extension out front, consistent swing and projects with added strength. Very good student. Verbal commitment to Florida.
