While we’ve already seen the MLB Network release its top 10 players per position based on analysis by a computer program called the Shredder, the Top 100 Players Right Now is compiled by the network’s production and research team (actual humans). So, where do these folks rank members of the New York Yankees?
The first player in pinstripes you’ll find is the newest member of the bunch, right-handed ace Gerrit Cole at No. 7. Interestingly enough, because of the massive expectations placed on the Yanks and Cole specifically, the 30-year-old is the first pitcher listed.
