 The MLB season is shaping up to be a remarkable one, with three outstanding rookie "Jacksons" making waves. Jackson Chourio, signed by the Milwaukee Brewers for $82.5 million, has gone from slow start to scorching hot since June 2nd. Jackson Merrill, a converted shortstop playing centerfield, has been raking at the plate and in the field, with a .990 fielding percentage. And Jackson Holliday, previously sent down to Triple-A, has returned with a vengeance, hitting four home runs in his last six games.
