Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Luke Jackson, a 10-year MLB veteran, signed a minor league contract with the Mets in early April 2026. After posting a 0.00 ERA over 3 innings at High-A St. Lucie, Jackson struggled significantly at Triple-A Syracuse with an 11.57 ERA over 4.2 innings with 7 walks and only 2 strikeouts. Due to his poor performance in the minor league system and lack of roster space, Jackson has opted out of his Mets contract and is expected to become a free agent. His best season was 2021 with the Braves (1.98 ERA over 63.2 innings), but his recent performance suggests significant decline from his peak.
