Daniel Jackson
Hitting scouting report · 80Grade
Scouting summary
Given his combination of well-above-average power, athleticism, and a realistic chance to remain behind the plate, Jackson projects as an everyday major league catcher if the hit tool and receiving continue to progress. The offensive ceiling is middle-of-the-order impact, driven by plus raw power and enough on-base ability to mitigate the strikeouts. Defensively he is more likely to settle in as average overall, with a solid arm and improving receiving that should be workable for a primary catcher. The floor is a bat-first catcher or corner-utility role who provides power but sees time as a part-time backstop if the glove stalls. Key developmental priorities will be swing tightening against elite velocity, continued gains in receiving and game-calling, and managing his body to preserve speed and explosiveness over a long season.
