Jackson Jobe is an American baseball right-handed pitcher who is considered the top prospect for the 2018 MLB Draft. Further, the Heritage Hall star has committed to play college baseball for the Mississippi.
2020 ALL AMERICAN CLASSIC PLAYER, Jobe was born on 30th July 2002, under the star sign Cancer. Oklahoma City native, he holds an American nationality and is of white ethnic background.
Jobe left middle school and joined Heritage Hall High in Oklahoma City. He was a multi-sport athlete until he got to high school, where he decided to narrow his athletics to football and baseball.
He was quarterback and safety in the fall and a shortstop who would head to the mound to close games in the spring. His junior year would have followed the same pattern if the Covid-19 pandemic hadn’t brought his baseball season to an end after four games.
And with Jobe’s senior campaign, it has become even more apparent. Through his six starts, Jobe has thrown two no-hitters and struck out 82 batters in 34 innings pitched while giving up just 11 hits and one earned run totally a 0.202 ERA.
