3. Jeremiah Jackson, SS/2B, Angels
Team: Rookie-level Orem (Pioneer)
Age: 19
Why He's Here: .375/.448/1.208 (9-for-24), 8 R, 2 2B, 6 HR, 12 RBIs, 3 BB, 6 SO, 1-for-1 SB

The Scoop: There have been 10 different times that a Pioneer League hitter has finished the year with 20 home runs. But 20 home runs seems to be the upper limit for a hitter in the league. Cecil Fielder and Steve Garvey are among those 20-home run hitters. But until this year, Greg Morrison's 23 home runs in 1997 were the only time a hitter broke though the 20-home run ceiling. Jackson has joined him. With three full weeks left in the season, Jackson has a very good chance of breaking Morrison's league record, but also busting through the record for any rookie league. Mitch Einertson and Joy Gritts each hit 24 home runs in the Appalachian League. (JJ)

I just hope he doesnt turn in to Garvey. Garvey is the guy that asks "do you know who i am", and you see his stonewashed jeans and gut and say ".... I did."

So be better, Jackson.

I would love if he had a Garveyesque career!
