Yankees Rumors: NY Targeting Position Player in 1st Round, Linked to Nick Loftin
The New York Yankees could be seeking a shortstop of the future with their first-round pick in the 2020 MLB draft.
According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, "experts believe the club will target a quality position player in the first round before seeking pitchers later."
Hoch also noted the connection to Baylor shortstop Nick Loftin, who was picked by New York in the latest mock draft by MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo.
"Loftin's ability to stick at shortstop as a college performer would put him high on the Yankees' list," Mayo wrote.
