The Oakland Athletics came into the season hoping that Zack Jackson would play a big part in their bullpen. He pitched well when available, but an arm injury ended his season in mid-May.
How Acquired?
The A’s acquired Jackson in the 2020 Rule 5 Draft from Toronto.
What were the expectations?
Jackson played a big part in Oakland’s bullpen in 2022 where he appeared in 54 games while posting a 3.00 ERA and a 2.78 FIP in 48 innings. The expectation was that he would again play a big role in the back half of Oakland’s bullpen as a setup man that could possibly see some save opportunities.
