The Yankees consistently get more out of young, unheralded prospects than your typical team. Luis Severino, Jonathan Loáisiga, Oswald Peraza, and Anthony Volpe are just a few of them. You can find these players at any level. Sometimes, it results in a reliable major leaguer, and other times it helps them to make trades, like the one for Joey Gallo, where the top of their system isn’t affected. Their heavy investment in international scouting has been a key reason for it.
It allows them to find and project players like Andres Chapparo. You probably haven’t heard a lot about him, but he’s been in the minor league system for over five seasons.
