Meet Billy McKinney, a New York Yankees prospect that should have your attention

When the New York Yankees made their non-roster invitations, outfield prospect Billy McKinney was not on the invitee list.

Shortly after utilityman Tyler Austin went down with a broken foot, however, the first-round draft pick of the Oakland Athletics in 2013 out of Plano West High School was presented with a showcase at George M. Steinbrenner Field with the big league club.

In just his second appearance in live action on Sunday, McKinney lined a two-run home run to right field in the bottom of the seventh inning off Toronto Blue Jays pitcher, Jordan Romano.
