Showing strikeout upside
Jackson has allowed one run on one hit and one walk while striking out four over two Cactus League innings.
ANALYSIS
Jackson missed all of 2022 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He bounced back over the latter half of 2023, posting a 2.97 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 43:15 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Jackson's strikeout totals give him some real upside, but he doesn't have a clear path to consistent late-inning work with the Giants. The right-hander should mainly pitch in the middle innings, which could give him chances to vulture wins since the Giants have a lot of uncertainty in their rotation.

Jackson was a good illustration of how difficult projecting reliever performance on a yearly basis can be. After posting a 6.84 ERA in 2020, Jackson posted a career-best 1.98 ERA paired with 31 holds in 2021. A 90.2% left on base rate was in part responsible for the excellent numbers, but Jackson still posted a combination of skills that often lead to success for relievers. He managed a 26.8 K% while also limiting opposing hitters to a 0.9 HR/9 thanks to a 52.5 GB%. While Jackson was trusted in a high-leverage role, his 11.1 BB% is a significant blemish in his skill profile that has largely prevented him from picking up saves throughout his career. He gained increased competition for late-inning work when Atlanta signed Kenley Jansen in mid-March, and Jackson will miss significant time after being diagnosed with a torn UCL in early April.
