Here's a bit from the BA chat:
Sheetskout (Milwaukee, WI): I didn't expect Kyle Skipworth to begin the season completely on fire and he's played well below expectations. What are your updated thoughts on Skipworth and what do you feel his true ceiling is?
Jim Shonerd: Skipworth has yet to produce in his pro career. He hit only .208/.263/.340 in the GCL last year and is at .167/.221/.292 this year. There's still plenty of time for him to come around, but his pitch recognition has to get better. Greensboro's park is a bandbox, so it'll be disconcerting if his power doesn't start showing up.

I wou;dn't be worried just yet if I were you. The jump from high school competition to professional baseball is not an easy one, especially for an 19 year old. Give him some time to develop and get used to better pitching and I'm sure he'll be just fine.

I am a believer. Hope he can progress some this year.
