A-Jax 6th Hottest Propspect at BA



No. 6 AUSTIN JACKSON, CF
YANKEES
Team: Double-A Trenton (Eastern) Age: 21Why He's Here: .357/.400/.786 (10-for-28), 7 R, 4 HR, 8 RBIs, 2 BB, 4 K, 1-for-2 SB
The Scoop: Hitting a home run in four straight games is one good way to navigate your way onto the Hot Sheet, which is what Jackson did this week to earn this spot. With a .282/.362/.443 season line in 280 at-bats, Jackson hit safely in nine straight games until Thursday. With a budding performance record of excellence to complement his outstanding athleticism and tools, Jackson is building a strong case to supplant Joba Chamberlain as the top prospect in the Yankees organization at the conclusion of the season.
