Miami shortstop Ryan Jackson is one of the best glove men in the country. The sophomore was a highly touted freshman out of Florida Christian High School and immediately earned the nod as the starter at shortstop for the Hurricanes. He has great range in the field with soft hands.
In his first year in Coral Gables, Jackson struggled with the bat. He hit .236 with 10 doubles and 2 triples. Invited to play for Hyannis in the Cape, he hit a soft .215 with 6 doubles while starting all 43 games at short.
Determined to raise his game and become more of an offensive threat to compliment his outstanding defensive ability, Jackson worked hard in the offseason. He had a great fall practice, where he hit .452 with a team-high 28 hits, scored 14 runs, and drove in 11 runs. Look for Jackson to have a breakout season at the U. Through Miami’s first 3 games he is 5-10 with a triple and a pair of doubles. In their exhibition game loss (9-2) yesterday against the Florida Marlins, Jackson led the way, going 3-4 with 3 doubles.
