EVERETT, Wash. - AquaSox shortstop Drew Jackson was named the Northwest League Player of the Month by Minor League Baseball, the AquaSox announced Friday. Jackson hit .417 in August, and got on base in more than half of his at bats with a .505 on-base percentage.

The 20-year-old Northwest League All-Star also stole 20 bases in 22 attempts in August, nine more than any other player in the league. Selected as a fifth-round pick out of Stanford by the Mariners in June, Jackson led the league in batting average, runs scored, hits, steals, on-base percentage and OPS last month.

"Drew has been a special player to watch, especially over the last month," AquaSox General Manager Danny Tetzlaff said. "Our fans have seen how well Drew has played this season, and we have all been fortunate to watch such a talented team."

Jackson's success hasn't been limited to last month, though. He leads the league in batting average (.367), runs scored (63), on-base percentage (.438) and steals (47). The Orinda, California, native also won Northwest League Player of the Week twice - the week of July 20-27, and Aug. 3-10.

The AquaSox host the Tri-City Dust Devils in the first game of a best-of-three playoff series at 7:05 p.m. this Monday, Sept. 7, at Everett Memorial Stadium. Gates open at 5:30 p.m. for a happy hour special featuring $5 Coors Light and two-for-one hot dogs until 6:30 p.m., and the first 500 fans receive a special AquaSox playoff t-shirt courtesy of Pepsi. Tickets are available online at aquasox.com/tickets, in the front office at 3802 Broadway in Everett, and by phone at 425-258-3673.
