WTM’S PIRATE PLAYER PROFILES |
| Lashmet was a solid offensive performer for Northwestern for four years, but was never previously drafted. Baseball America rated him the 25th best prospect in a weak year for Illinois, without explanation. He doesn’t appear to have great power and is likely to be an organizational player. Lashmet signed a couple weeks after the draft. 2011 Went to State College and didn’t hit much. He struggled especially in August, hitting .190. His plate discipline wasn’t bad, as he fanned only once every seven ABs and walked once for every ten ABs, so he doesn’t seem to have been overwhelmed. He played a lot at first until Alex Dickerson arrived, then was the primary thirdbaseman after that. Lashmet figures to graduate quickly to organizational player. He’ll be at West Virginia in 2012, serving as a corner utility player. |
