Though football is still in season and basketball is just starting to heat up, it’s never too early to look ahead to baseball, and the promise held by the 2017 club. With pitchers and catchers just weeks away from reporting, MLB.com put together a list of their top 50 prospects in the class of 2017, and TCU’s junior catcher, Evan Skoug, was ranked 29th.
Skoug, who hails from Illinois, was a top prospect coming out of high school, but dropped into the late rounds after reaffirming his commitment to TCU and Jim Schlossnagle. And Frog fans are certainly grateful for that, as he has started every meaningful game behind the plate since his arrival as a true freshman.
