Jake Jackson is the Aztecs’ middle-of-the-order spark plug after a breakout 2026
In the 2026 season, Jake Jackson turned into a bona fide impact bat for San Diego State, slashing .338/.399/.628 with 15 home runs, 49 RBIs and 53 runs scored while starting 56 of 57 games in center field[1][4]. He also delivered in big moments—conference honors, a Mountain West Player of the Year award, and a tournament run where he hit .500 with a .560 on-base percentage—so the appeal goes beyond raw power: he brings size, clutch edge, and steady everyday value in center[3][7]. If you want an athletic, right-handed outfielder who can punish mistakes and show up when the stakes rise, he’s the real deal[1][3][7].
