ACA Lions Baseball

Jack Duckett @Jack_Duckett_27 · 4d

First and foremost I would like to thank God for giving me the ability to play the game I love and allowing me to glorify Him through it. I would like to thank my parents for all the sacrifices they have made to help me pursue my dream. A special thanks to Coach Darin and Coach Zaccaro for helping me develop not only as a player but also as a young man. Lastly I would like to thank Coach Morrison and the rest of the BJU staff for giving me the opportunity to continue my baseball career.@BJUBaseball @ACALionBaseball

Congratulations @Jack_Duckett_27 of @ACALionBaseball on Your Commitment to @BJUBaseball

I've always enjoyed watching Duckett work in the infield because, as like most ACA middle infielders of the past, he moves with a confidence and IQ that creates stability and rhythm in the middle of the field.

Social fit was an important part of Jack's choice, as we were glad to see a solid Christian High School Prospect find his right fit in a Christian College. @BJUedu is also the only College Baseball program found in the beautiful city of Greenville, SC

Jack will be an important part of the ACA resurgence in 2027 as the Lions look like they have their best overall roster since the 2024 Hurricane ravaged their program. It wasn't too long ago that ACA was a Top 5 WNC program, and it looks like Duckett and Lions want to reestablish themselves in the conversation this Spring.

Physicality, Physicality, Physicality

You hear it over and over when discussing what it takes for a HS prospect to make the jump to high level D1 or D2 baseball.

At 6'8" 265, 2028 LHP/1B Christian Norton of @ACALionBaseball has the Physicality to turn heads at the next level.

He had EVs up to 103 MPH this past Sunday at the @nextlevelbbnc Scout Day. I didn't want to cut much from his BP session.

He was also up to 86 MPH on the bump, and there is more in there.

Pro Scouts are going to want to start getting some notes on Norton as well

I stopped by the @nextlevelbbnc Scout Day to grab some footage and metrics this past Sunday. 2028 C @D_Felix2028 of @ACALionBaseball took advantage of that as he had himself a day.

Pop Times were between 1.95-2.06. Swung the bat well too, up to 89 on the EV. Threw 3 runners out during the simulated scrimmage. Kids just a gamer, catching attention already
