Skoglund is an organizational arm that will be able to consistently eat innings. He lacks an above-average offering and an out pitch, but shows average command for his three pitches. Skoglund lacks projection due his skinny frame.
Round Drafted: 3rd Round, 2014
Why: Average command of all pitches; potential for CB/CH to improve enough for a role as a backend SP or middle relief option.
