Scouting report
Like many of the prospects in the Dodgers system, Jackson missed time as an amateur due to Tommy John and also entered pro ball under-developed because he played both ways at Utah. Over two pro seasons, Jackson and the Dodgers have expanded his repertoire from two viable pitches to four, including a fastball that has been up to 98 and a hard cutter/slider that has quickly developed into his best pitch. Last year, I rounded his FV down a tad due to his age, though you could argue there are fewer miles on Jackson's arm and that his relative inexperience means he actually has a better chance of holding his stuff into his 30s than that adjustment assumes. Now that he's on the 40-man, and after seeing the need for pitching depth throughout 2020, I've moved Jackson up a tier. (Alternate site, Fall Instructional League)
