Luke Jackson was a first round pick (45th overall) by the Texas Rangers in 2010 out of Calvary Christian High School in For Lauderdale, FL. He was acquired by the Braves in December 2016 in a trade for Brady Feigl and Tyrell Jenkins, who was also a first-rounder and came to the Braves are part of famed Jason Heyward trade in 2014.
