Texas Rangers Select Joe Jackson In The Fifth Round Of The MLB Draft.

Citadel catcher Joe Jackson was picked in the fifth round of the Major League draft today by the Texas Rangers.

Jackson, a junior, was the No. 160 overall pick in the draft, which began Thursday and continues through Saturday.

Jackson, a 6-1, 195-pounder from Mauldin, was named all-Southern Conference and third-team Louisville Slugger All-American this season. He batted .386 with 13 home runs and 67 runs batted-in.

He surely helped his draft stock in the SoCon tournament, when he batted .769 with eight runs, five RBI, three doubles, a triple and a home run, reaching base safely in 18 of 20 trips to the plate.

CONGRATULATIONS JOE FROM EVERYONE HERE AT THE VIRTUAL HALL OF FAME!!!
