Really? That's the first I heard of that. I am not disputing it but he has been great at the plate so far. Also his work behind the plate has been described as good for someone who hasn't played catcher in over 3 years. He obviously needs a lot of time there if he is ever going to be a regular catcher in the majors though.

said Jackson looks very out of shape for what it's worth.

Keith Law: I saw him in Orlando. He looked awful. Still leading with that elbow, cutting up through the ball, and way bigger than he was in HS.
Dan I literally read the Braves daily prospect updates every morning and I have not once ready a single report concerning Jackson's physical condition. I have a great deal of respect for Law even though he can be abrasive at times. I am just very surprised by his statement.

in mind he was 215 pre-draft so "much" bigger than 6'2 215 is a pretty beefy kid (if accurate).

I'd be the biggest liar in the world if I claimed I've ever even seen Jackson play once let alone seen him recently. I know he was a massive HS prospect who everyone thought would hit "for sure". His physical conditioning I have absolutely no idea beyond what Law is saying.
The Braves supposedly are extremely high on him. Keith Law thinks he's more of a polish type than a TOR. Soroka's velocity has fluctuated from low 90's to occasionally flashing mid. Build wise he's exactly what you want from a SP (great build, near clone of Tommy Hanson (RIP). If Soroka can sit consistently 93+ he's got a shot to be pretty special. If he's more in the 91-93 range he can still be very good but obviously it's "harder". No reason to rush him but he's on trajectory to be in the Braves rotation at a very young age.
