Mariners Draft Stanford SS Drew Jackson in 5th Round

The Seattle Mariners have selected Drew Jackson in the 5th round (155th pick) of the 2015 MLB Draft. Jackson is a Jr. shortstop at Stanford University. The Mariners have now used 3 of their first 5 picks on players hailing from the Pac-12, as Jackson joins fellow Pac-12 alums Andrew Moore (OSU) and Braden Bishop (UW).

Drew Jackson has great size for a shortstop, standing at 6’2 and weighing 200 lbs. He bats and throws from the right side. The junior is said to possess elite arm strength and a quality glove up the middle.
