It takes a lot more than an impressive month to get a mea culpa from MLB Draft experts ... usually. But Baseball Prospectus' quick about-face on New York Yankees first-round choice Dax Kilby only further emphasizes how much impressive data he piled up in August before the Low-A season came to a close.
The Yankees selected Kilby and paid him handsomely with the 39th overall pick in the draft, their first selection knocked back due to their egregious behavior (signing Juan Soto replacements, because MLB thinks it should be illegal to try hard). That was commensurate with where most experts rated Kilby prior to the draft, and though most expected the Yankees to choose a pitcher first, it wasn't stunning to see them snag a highly-rated high school bat.
