※ 引述《awano (一去不復返)》之銘言： : Rangers take Justin Smoak at #11, a guy who was expected to go higher : BA's mock had him #8 on their top 100 rankings, with this scouting report: : A switch-hitting first baseman with power, Smoak draws natural comparisons : to Mark Teixiera. Drafted out of high school in the 16th round by the : Athletics, he has started every game for South Carolina since arriving on : the Columbia campus, doing nothing but produce. After batting .303 with 17 : home runs, Smoak earned Freshman All-America honors. He followed that with : a .315 batting average and 22 home runs in his sophomore year—enough to be : tabbed as a third team All-American. He also competed for Team USA last : summer. As a first baseman, Smoak has Gold Glove-caliber actions and soft : hands. His footwork and instincts around the bag are advanced and his arm : strength is adequate. As a hitter, he is consistent from both sides of the : plate, and he has superior pitch recognition. A power threat against any : pitch, Smoak has the ability to hit to all fields. Smoak proved his power : translates to wood when he hit 11 home runs in 39 games while playing in the : Cape Cod League following his freshman year, though he struggled with Team : USA last summer. He is thought to be the best combination of offense and : defense at first base in this draft class. 條子在第十一順位選中了Justin Smoak。一個原本預期在更高順位被選中的人。 BA的模擬選秀把它放在百大新秀的第八位，他們的球探報告是這麼說的： 一個左右開弓的大砲一壘手，Smoak自然的被比為Mark Teixiera。 高中時曾經在第十六輪被綠帽選中，到了南卡大之後每場先發，產量很高。 打出.303的打擊率外帶十七支全壘打。獲選為全美新秀第一隊。 第二年則打出了.315，跟22支的全壘打，足夠讓他被選為全美第三隊的成績。 去年夏天也入選了美國隊。 以一壘手而言，Smoak有金手套級的移動和柔順的處理球能力， 他的腳步跟守備直覺都非常棒，臂力則是剛好而已。 打擊面而言，他本壘板的兩側都可以持續打出好成績，有特別好的選球眼。 能對任何球種造成長打威脅，把球打到球場的每個角落。 當他在三十九場比賽中打出十一支全壘打，已經證明了自己在用木棒時也能打出power。 雖然在去年夏天加入美國隊時打的很掙扎，他仍被認為是這次選秀最攻守俱佳的一壘手。 --
