2015 Phillies draft preview: Skye Bolt, OF

The best name in the draft (yes, it's his real name) this year, how is he as a player?

I go to a lot of UNC and NC State baseball games so I've seen a lot of Bolt. His Freshman year I thought he was a possible 1st Round pick. Last year he looked fairly terrible. His plate patience was still really good, but his contact wasn't as solid, along with some bad luck. He finished off with a pretty bad performance in the Cape Cod League. He's still got several plus tools and he's got good versatility to play anywhere in the OF and would be a very viable Second Round pick.
