The annual international free agency period is defined by high profile prospects inking seven figure signing bonuses on the first day the newest class is eligible to sign. Those players are generally 16-year-olds, as most players older than that are passed by and garner little attention. Those players who sign later often can turn into signings that look like steals as they develop into quality players. The Yankees have such a prospect in Randy Vasquez, who signed with no fanfare or attention but is now rocketing up the prospect ranking after a dramatic in-season improvement in 2021.
