2022 Most Viewed Profiles: No. 1 Jackson Sanders


PBR Alabama Staff

As we begin to close the book on 2022 and shift our focus to a brand-new year, we continue our tradition of highlighting the Top-25 Most Viewed Profiles for the calendar year. Using Google Analytics, our staff was able to compile a list of the Top-25 prospects whose PBR profile was viewed the most in 2022. Many of the players mentioned on this list produced at a high level at various PBR events over the course of the last 12 months. 

Beginning on December 7th, we began counting down from No. 25 all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Rounding out the countdown, LHP Jackson Sanders, an Auburn recruit that attends Valley HS comes in at No. 1 on this list.

 

Scouting Report

2/17/22

LHP Jackson Sanders (Valley, 2024) delivered a quality start in his first outing of his sophomore campaign en route to four scoreless frames and picking up the win. The long & athletic 6-2, 170-pounder opened up working 90-91 mph (2400 rpm's) with his fastball before settling into more 87-89 mph throughout the later parts of his outing. His breaking ball in the low-70's (2400 rpm's) flashed some quality depth, and showed feel to back-door it to right-handed hitters. Sanders has a loose & whippy arm action that should continue to see upticks in velocity over the coming years courtesy of an athletic, projectable frame. The Auburn recruit finished tossing 4 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 2 HBP & 10 K's. 

2/25/21

'24 LHP Jackson Sanders (Auburn), who is ranked No. 1 overall in the 2024 Rankings, received the ball on Thursday for his first outing of his freshman campaign, and he turned in a solid outing to kick off his season. In the 1st inning, Sanders worked primarily 87-88 mph (2350-2514 rpm) and touched 90 mph once. He showed some occasional cut to his fastball when to the glove side. He mixed that with a 1/7 breaking ball at 75-78 mph (~2300 rpm), and located it well to both right-handed (back door) and left-handed (front door) hitters. He settled into more 85-88 mph in the 3rd & 4th frames, and continued to pound the zone with strikes. The command and ability to compete was what jumped out in this look. He had some tough luck and loaded the bases to start the 3rd, but struck out the next hitter and induced an infield fly. The lone run scored off of Sanders was on a passed ball. Loose arm action with a projectable frame at 6-2, 190 pounds. Seems like he is an elite competitor and was not fazed against an experienced lineup with numerous D1 commitments & signees. Pulled after 61 pitches (43 strikes) due to pitch count, but fanned four hitters in 3 ⅓ while only allowing four hits, no earned runs and no walks.
