Drafted in the 2nd round (83rd overall) by the Texas Rangers in 2012 (signed for $601,500).
View Draft Report
The last Delaware prep to be taken in the first 10 rounds was shortstop Derrik Gibson, a second-round pick of the Red Sox in 2008. A team that thinks Jarmon can stick in center field could pop him in the first five rounds, but they will have to be patient. He's a good athlete and may have a chance to play football in college, but his tools are raw and he lacks baseball instincts right now. He has run a 6.8-second 60-yard dash, but he doesn't get out of the box quickly and most scouts think his speed plays average to a tick above. He's physical and strong at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds and has average power that is acceptable on a corner, but he'll have more value if he sticks in center. He's had an up-and-down spring from a performance standpoint and tends to tinker with his stance too much, but he has bat speed. Early on, he was in a deep crouch and swung uphill, and he tends to struggle with offspeed stuff too.
