Starting pitching has been dominant for the Yankees lately. But on July 11, the Pinstripes will add another name to the future of the franchise.
The Yankees own the 20th overall selection in the 2021 MLB Draft. Even though pitching has been terrific at the major league level and the Yankees have solid depth at the top of the organization’s depth, the experts appear to believe the Yankees will add another arm to the stable.
Let’s take a look at some of the names linked to the Yankees in recent mock drafts.
Andrew Painter, RHP, Calvary Christian HS (FL)
Carlos Collazo – Baseball America (May 24)
Comments: “Painter is no longer considered the top high school righthander in the class, but he’s pitched better later in the season than he did at the beginning, has a great pitcher’s frame and perhaps the best command in the high school class.
