Jackson continues to tease with his power potential (.233 ISO) and speed (10 triples, 20 steals in 24 attempts). (Value Static)
Jackson has played 82 games at the Triple-A level in 2012 and now owns 12 homer and 20 steals. But the 23-year-old also has struck out in over a third of his plate appearances (33.8%) and walked in less than a tenth (9.4%).
