Through their social media channels, the Brasschaat Braves announced their first �new� signee for the 2024 season. Jackson Longhofer will return for another run with the thirteen-time Belgian champions.
Jacskon Longhofer has experience in several areas. Next to being a pitcher, he can be used as a utility player (mainly outfield). In Germany, he also managed a club from the 2. Bundesliga (second-tier league in Germany).
Next to four years of college baseball, Jackson played in the Ban Johnson Collegiate Summer Baseball League where he was named an All-Star for 3 years. In 2018, he was chosen as a starting pitcher for the All-Star game and a finalist for League Pitcher of the Year.
During the 2023 season in the Belgian Division 1, Jackson batted .275 (what do they mean with �pitchers can�t hit?�). Even though he was hitting light (only one double), Jackson batted in twelve runs.
Jackson posted an 8-7 record in fifteen starts with a 2.26 ERA. In 107.2 innings, he had a K/BB ratio of 3.29 (115/35). Of the thirty-one runs he allowed, twenty-seven were earned.
On the defensive side, Jackson posted a .974 fielding percentage, committing only one error during the 2023 season.
