Why I play baseball
Behind all of the diving plays and gap shots is hundreds of cuts and ground balls. There is nothing more rewarding and satisfying seeing all of your hard work pay off in real time.

Jackson’s Approach to the game
At the Plate:
Jackson’s value at the plate doesn’t come from launching balls over the fence. It comes from consistency. He’s the guy who shortens up with two strikes, finds the gap with runners on, and wears down pitchers over long at-bats. His walk-to-strikeout ratio (2:1) tells the story — and so does his on-base percentage (.404). Coaches looking for a reliable table-setter at the top of the order will appreciate his bat.
On the Mound:
Jackson doesn’t overpower hitters — he outthinks them. His strength is in commanding the strike zone, changing speeds, and executing the pitch that needs to be thrown. It’s not unusual to see a weak groundout after four well-placed pitches. He knows his game, and it’s built on precision.
In the Infield:
At short or third, Jackson’s glove work is calm, efficient, and dependable. He’s not flashy — but he’s always in position, always anticipating, and always making the right play. It’s hard to remember the last time he made an error.
