Jackson Hiatt brings real 1B power, but Toledo needs more consistency
In the 2026 season, Toledo’s Jackson Hiatt has been a 6-foot-6, 240-pound right-handed first baseman/right-handed pitcher who has appeared in 26 games and posted a .182 average with 2 home runs and 11 RBIs, including a triple and two-run homer in Toledo’s 16-11 win over UMass.[4][10][12] The appeal is obvious: big-frame, physical hitter with legitimate extra-base juice and enough versatility to cover 1B and the mound, but his current value is more “projectable power bat” than polished producer right now.[2][4][8] If your team wants upside, toughness, and a player who can change a game with one swing, he’s interesting; if you need high-contact certainty, he’s still proving it.[4][12]
