Indians receive top draft pick
Help is on the way for the Spokane Indians’ outfield.
The parent-club Texas Rangers have assigned to Spokane center fielder Jake Skole, their top pick in last month’s first-year player draft.
Skole, chosen 15th overall, hit .452 with six homers and 21 RBIs during 14 games during his senior season at Blessed Trinity High in Roswell, Ga.
The Indians’ roster had been down to three outfielders after Guillermo Pimentel was promoted to Hickory (N.C.).
