Tyler Wade the early years

The New York Yankees Tyler Dean Wade was born on November 24, 1994, in San Diego, California. He played baseball as a boy, and from the age of ten was a Yankee and Derek Jeter fan. He played ball for Murrieta Valley High School in California, where he developed into a shortstop who played several times at second base. Yankees scouts took notice of Wade and particularly liked his athleticism. They thought so much of him that they selected him in the fourth round of the 2013 MLB draft when he was just eighteen.
