Jake Lamb played three seasons for the Washington Baseball team between 2010 and 2012 before he was drafted by Arizona in the sixth round of the 2012 MLB Draft. The 26-year-old is now an everyday third baseman for one of the most talented teams in baseball.
Lamb made the All Star Game as a reserve thanks to impressive numbers at the plate: a .282 batting average along with 18 home runs and 65 RBI’s. His .540 slugging percentage ranks second on the team, only behind MVP frontrunner Paul Goldschmidt.
Lamb and Goldschmidt’s styles at the plate are similar.
