Mike Jackson  
Relief Pitcher | Retired or Inactive Players

Pitching
It's tough to get much loft on the ball against him, as he works down in the strike zone to begin with and his two-seamer produces mostly groundballs. He's a good late inning man, which is when being a pitcher really counts. His fastball gets into the high 80s, but it's the sink that makes the pitch effective. He attacks lefties and righties with similar success.

Defense & Hitting
Jackson's move to first base is average. Jackson is nothing special in the field. Jackson is a surpisingly good hitting pitcher. And I'm not sure you can say this about a pitcher, but Jackson has some pop in his swing. Interesting sidenote, The Retired or Inactive Players have been known to use Jackson as a pinch-runner on occasion.
