Rockies Draft Power-Hitting Catcher Daniel Jackson | Colorado Rockies News

The Rockies just landed Daniel Jackson, a college baseball phenom who crushed it at Georgia with a .379 average, 32 homers, and 26 stolen bases—making him the first Division I catcher ever to hit 25 homers and swipe 25 bags in one season. He won the Golden Spikes Award and brings elite power and speed, with scouts praising his improved contact. While his catching defense is solid, his behind-the-plate skills are still developing—so the Rockies may move him to the outfield if needed. Jackson’s flexible attitude and elite bat make him a unique, high-impact addition to a young Rockies system. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
