A really gifted scout once told me the number one thing you look for when evaluating amateur talent is something different. Something unique. Find something that can be brought to the game that will not only work, but can disrupt the meta.
Jackson Jobe, my friends, is different.
Indeed, the pride of Oklahoma City and Heritage Hall High School can do things to a baseball others just simply cannot. That’s not hyperbole either. No exaggeration. He quite literally can do things to a baseball others are unable to do.
Jobe entered last summer a middle-infielder.
