04. Matt Skole, 1b/3b Born: July 30, 1989. B-T: L-R. Ht.: 6-4. Wt.: 220. Drafted: Georgia Tech, 2011 (5th round). Signed by: Eric Robinson. Background: Skole won South Atlantic League MVP honors and was named Washington’s minor league hitter of the year in 2012. His 2013 season was cut short in his second game when he collided with a runner while playing first base, causing a microfracture in his wrist and severing the ulnar collateral ligament in his non-throwing elbow. He had Tommy John surgery and wrist surgery but returned to action in the Arizona Fall League, where he homered twice in his first four games. 背景： 2012年 Skole贏得South Atlantic League的MVP，也被選為國民農場 年度最佳打者，他的2013年球季卻相當短暫，第二場比賽就因為防守 一壘而被跑者撞斷非傳球手肘進行側韌帶與手腕修復手術。今年則在 Arizona Fall League復出，前四場比賽就轟出兩發全壘打。 Scouting Report: Skole’s calling card is his plus lefthanded power, primarily to the pull side. He has a flicker with his bat head right before letting loose on the baseball, and he generates serious bat speed. The Nationals helped him get more out of his huge frame by minimizing his leg kick, solidifying his base and improving his balance. He showed an improved ability to stay back and drive breaking pitches the other way in his last healthy season. Skole also has an advanced feel for the strike zone, giving him a chance to be an average or slightly better hitter. He has good hands at either infield corner and a solid arm, but he lacks the range to displace Ryan Zimmerman or Anthony Rendon at the hot corner, so he figures to focus on first base going forward. 球探報告： Skole 的賣點是拉回式火力特強的左手砲瓦，習慣晃動他的棒頭再將 力量釋放到球上，他的揮棒速度也是真貨，國民藉著最小化他的踢腿 動作固定他的姿勢與增加平衡。受傷前的那個健康球季他有能力將重 心留在後面，也可以把變化球往相反方向攻擊。 Skole也能把好球帶 顧好，幫助他有機會成為平均或更好一些的打者。他是內野左右兩端 的防守好手，臂力不錯，但因有Ryan Zimmerman跟Anthony Rendon， 未來應該會以一壘手為目標前進。 The Future: Skole will return to Harrisburg to start 2014. He is the best power prospect in the system and could be the organization’s first baseman of the future. 未來性： 2014年 Skole將回到Harrisburg出發。他是農場裡最有砲瓦的打者， 也可能是球隊未來的一壘手。 --
