Alex Jackson began the season as the Braves’ backup catcher behind Travis d’Arnaud but ultimately was unable to take advantage of his opportunity. He again showed plenty of power at Gwinnett and was eventually traded to the Marlins in exchange for Adam Duvall.
How Acquired
The Braves acquired Jackson in a trade with the Seattle Mariners in November 2016 in exchange for Max Povse and Rob Whalen. He has always been known largely for his power and slugged 28 home runs for Gwinnett in 2019. However, he made great strides behind the plate and was often lauded as a quality pitch framer while in the minors.
