The New York Yankees selected catcher Kyle Higashioka with their pick in the seventh round of the 2008 MLB Draft straight out of high school.
The scouting report on Higashioka, according to Baseball America, stated that he was a superior defensive backstop who did not have much power on draft day but had a great amount of room to grow due to his large frame.
It has been almost 10 years since the backstop was drafted and it seems like after a long grueling journey throughout the system, he is almost ready to shine on a major league field.
