2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
After walking 5.6 batters per nine innings across five minor-league seasons, Jackson's 16.3% walk rate as a rookie was no surprise. In fact, it was the worst walk percentage among relievers who pitched at least 40 innings. However, the 28-year-old still managed to put together a solid campaign, compiling a 3.00 ERA (2.77 FIP), 1.27 WHIP and 67 strikeouts across 48 innings. He only gave up one home run all season (0.2 HR/9) and was effective against both right-handed (.188 BA) and lefty swingers (.143). Jackson quickly earned a high-leverage role for the A's, finishing finishing 2nd in the American League and 4th overall with 26 holds. A strained shoulder ended his season in August, but he's expected to be ready for camp and reclaim his role as the A's primary setup man. Read Past Outlooks

Control issues in spring
Jackson sports a 1-0 record, 4.50 ERA and 2.17 WHIP across six innings in six Cactus League appearances.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander was a highly valuable bullpen asset as a rookie in 2022 before ending the season on the injured list with a shoulder strain, producing a 2-3 record, 27 holds, three saves and a 3.00 ERA across 54 appearances. Jackson has experienced some control issues as he works off rust this spring, however, issuing multiple walks in three appearances. Nevertheless, the 28-year-old impressively managed to avoid any damage until his most recent outing Saturday against the Reds, when he allowed his only three runs of Cactus League play thus far across just one-third of an inning.
