The Book on Austin Jackson
Prospect Info
Austin Jackson
Born 2/1/1987
OF, NYY
Another very young Yankees prospect who's frustrated scouts by only showing flashes of his tremendous potential, Jackson remains the brightest potential bat in the New York stable.
Promoted from the South Atlantic League to the Florida State League in 2007, he started to show the ability to hit to all fields, but he's still not ready for the big-time. A natural gap hitter, if his bat can catch up to his speed and defense, he'll have a future with the Yankees, or in one of their ever-looming trade packages.
