“I can’t think of a better day that I’ve had in my 24 years of scouting with the Texas Rangers.”
So said Rangers Senior Director of Amateur Scouting Kip Fagg — after Day Two of the 2015 amateur draft.
For the first time in his career, Fagg noted, Texas came away with four of the top 20 players off its board.
And it wasn’t as if the club had multiple first-rounders. The Rangers’ first four picks were in slots 4, 45, 78, and 108. Yet Dillon Tate, Eric Jenkins, Michael Matuella, and Jake Lemoine were all top 20 talents, as far as the Rangers were concerned.
