A talented but incomplete outfielder who committed to Georgia Tech in both football (safety) and baseball before being drafted by the Texas Rangers in the middle of 2010's first round, Jake Skole is the kind of powerful left-handed bat that plays well in Arlington. He looked pretty good in A-level Hickory (Sally League) in 2011, but his .264/.366/.389 line isn't what coaches expect to see in such a hitter-happy place, and his strikeout rate has been climing to scary-bad levels. He's still only nineteen, of course, so hang in there. He'll try to work into high-A ball this year, and pick up a little discipline along the way.
