LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2006 Southeast Top Prospect Showcase
Spencer Jackson is a 2007 SS/3B/P with a 6'0'', 175 lb. frame from Springfield GA, who attends Effingham County HS. He has a slender athletic frame and some wiry strength. Jackson swung the bat much better during the games against live pitching than during batting practice, where it looked like he was trying to lift the ball too much. During games he showed good bat speed, with quick hands and a smooth line drive swing plane. He took quality swings against good pitching and centered the ball well. Jackson was a very consistent runner when he put the ball on the ground in the infield, running 4.48, 4.50 and 4.52. He ran the 60 in 7.33 and has significantly improved his running speed and quickness from past events. Defensively, Jackson shows solid actions, with good, balanced feet and a good ability to circle the ball. Because he moves through the ball well Jackson can flip the ball to first at times and aim it. He shows good arm strength when he needs it. Jackson also pitched a bit, touching 83 mph with his fastball with a sweeping 69 mph slurve. Jackson throws from a variety of arm angles, which affects his command but also gives a lot of deception to the hitters. Jackson is a good student.
