Jackson Swarts '21 Recruiting Profile

Coach,

      I wanted to reach out to you relative to my interest in your Baseball Program. I will play baseball at the College level and am hopeful you can take a few minutes to read more about me.

     I am a left handed pitcher that utilizes my tools very effectively.  I use the corners, off speed, and ball movement  to close out batters.  These techniques have been very effective for me in my years as a pitcher in top level baseball.  My baseball career consists of 5 years of school baseball, two of which with the Varsity team at Oak Mountain High School, a 7A program in Birmingham, AL, Head Coach-Derek Irons.  I have also played 7 plus years in travel and showcase programs of which I am currently on the roster of TPL in Bessemer, AL, Head Coach Travis Coleman.

     I have competed at a very high level as a pitcher, outfielder and first base. I also have played in a large number of showcase tournaments and most recently the PG Academic Showcase in Hoover, AL where I ranked 5^th overall in 10 yd Splits and 7^th overall in 60 yd dash with 6.86.  My FB strikes 85 and sit with an average 78-80.  My Slider and CU land in the 68 range.  I do have a deceiving arm slot and have been compared to Chris Sale’s arm position, release and pitch selection.

     My academics are not lost on my participation in sports.  I currently hold a 3.85 as a senior at Oak Mountain and a 24 ACT score.  I do plan on taking my the ACT again as Covid has cancelled 2 of my testing dates. 

        Thank you for your time and consideration of my pitch to you as the director of baseball operations.
