Hoskins displayed an impressive game during his series against Hagerstown. While the profile is strictly first base, I think he will hit enough to provide average value at the position. His swing lacks any significant hole and he displayed consistent mechanics. There is some risk due to a lack of experience against higher competition.

Round Drafted: 5th round, 2014
Why: Seasoned bat with potential to hit at an average level.
