MLB Draft 2014: Mariners select Alex Jackson with No. 6 pick image

The Mariners have selected Alex Jackson, C/OF, Rancho Bernardo HS (Calif.), with the No. 6 pick in the 2014 MLB Draft.

What they're saying:

"Jackson's a very physical kid, 6-foot-1 or so and probably pushing 220 pounds at this point, with a mostly clean, potent right-handed swing that should generate line-drive power to his pull side and at least doubles power to the opposite field." — Law

"He moves better than most catchers, though his receiving will need to improve if he's to stick behind the plate. If not, he has enough athleticism and bat to make it as a right fielder." — MLB.com prospect watch
