Daniel Jackson Shatters Records | MLB News

Daniel Jackson just won the Golden Spikes Award, becoming the top amateur player in the U.S. and the first Division I catcher ever to hit 25 homers and steal 25 bases in a single season. He crushed the SEC, winning the triple crown with a .379 average, 32 homers, and a school-record 87 RBIs, while leading the nation in runs and total bases. After a rough sophomore year, he stayed focused, setting a “thirty-thirty” goal and falling just short of stealing 30 bases. He’s also proud of his team’s historic run to the College World Series, tying an SEC record for wins and setting a school record with 53 victories. Now ranked 39th in MLB draft prospects, he’s poised to be one of the first catchers selected — potentially making him the eighth Georgia player ever taken in the first round.
