Summary
The Rockies just pulled off a steal with the 37th pick, landing 21-year-old Daniel Jackson—a switch-hitting dynamo who’s already rewriting the script. A key cog in Georgia’s College World Series run, he claimed the SEC triple crown and blasted 32 homers with 87 RBIs in 2026. With a .340 average and .600 slugging percentage, he’s primed for a fast track to the majors—possibly as soon as two years. Versatile enough to play second base, Jackson’s college pedigree could shave years off his development, making him a rare gem poised to ignite the Rockies’ lineup sooner rather than later.
