Yankees 2015 Roster Report Card: Eric Jagielo

A knee injury curtailed an otherwise promising season for Jagielo, but his bat definitely should not be ignored.

Grade: B

2015 Statistics: 58 games, .284/.347/.495, 9 HR, 141 wRC+

2015 Level/Roster Status: Double-A/Non-40

Back in 2013, the Yankees made Notre Dame third baseman Eric Jagielo the top choice in a solid draft class that also saw them net slugger Aaron Judge and prep lefty Ian Clarkin with two other first round compensation picks. At the time, scouts felt that Jagielo's polished bat could make him a quick riser to the major leagues, but while his bat has been steady, injuries and questions about his defense have made his ascent a little slower.
