Texas Rangers 2015 first round draft choice Dillon Tate will be starting for the low-A Hickory Crawdads tonight
Dillon Tate, the Texas Rangers' first round draft pick (#4 overall) in the 2015 draft, has been promoted to low-A Hickory, and will make his debut for the Crawdads tonight, per Mark Parker.
Tate, a righthanded pitcher out of UC-Santa Barbara, had been with the Spokane Indians since the Northwest League kicked off in June, but pitched sparingly, making an appearance for one inning on June 26, and having another one inning outing on August 8.
My assumption is that Tate will likely only go an inning, maybe two, today.
