"Jackson offers the Tigers an athletic center fielder who offers five big league average tools, though he'll have to show more power than he did in Triple-A to get there. He brings his athleticism to bear defensively in center field, where he glides to balls with good range, and offensively, where he repeats his swing to produce gap power. He's a tick-above-average runner underway who has improved his basestealing ability, and he has shown the ability to hit for average as a pro. Jackson's arm strength is above average for center field and allows him to play right field, if necessary. If his power doesn't come to the fore, he'll have to make more consistent contact, and he could wind up as more of a bottom-of-the-order hitter."
