The 2018 MLB draft has come and gone. After three long days, the Yankees made 40 selections and somewhere between 20-30 of them are likely to sign and join the farm system. Here is a breakdown of the draftees by age and position:
- 31 college players, 9 high school players
- 16 hitters, 24 pitchers
- 6 catchers
- 21 college pitchers, 3 high school pitchers
- 21 righty pitchers, 3 lefty pitchers
As you can see, the Yankees went heavy on catchers, righty pitchers, and college pitchers. Below I will recap day three and give general thoughts on the Yankees’ haul.
