Former Patchogue-Medford standout Tyree Jackson has been named the Mountain Valley Conference Baseball Player of the Year.
Jackson, who is originally from Medford, NY, received All-Region Second Team accolades, along with First Team All-Conference honors, now adds Player of the Year to his impressive resume.
This season Jackson hit . 375 with two home runs, two triples, 9 doubles, 17 RBIs and 31 runs scored. His advanced statline reads like a baseball analytic's dream. He finished the year with a .459 on base percentage and .588 slugging, which was good for a 1.017 OPS. In just 34 games, he also was able to show off his speed by stealing 15 bases, while being caught just once. He began the year on fire with a nine-game hit streak through the first 12 games of the season. He also ended with a bang. He had multihit games in seven of the final 10 games of the season.
