    Yake has put up impressive numbers each year at Gonzaga, with a .320/.392/.419 slash line in four years with the program, albeit without much power. He’s consistently proven tough to strike out, with 71 walks compared to 53 strikeouts over 795 plate appearances. Yake has a patient approach from the left side with a solid-average hit tool, but he has well below-average power that’s translated more to doubles pop. Yake is solid defensively at shortstop, with a solid track record of hitting at Gonzaga.
