A pure third base prospect is not something to which Yankees fans have been accustomed. They haven’t had a prospect at third to get excited about since, what, Mike Lowell? Drew Henson? Eric Duncan? Unless you’re counting the defensive stylings of Miguel Andújar at the hot corner, it’s been more than a while, and the wait may have to continue unless some players who had strong seasons in 2022 take the next step up in 2023.
Who is the best prospect?
Tyler Hardman played first base in college, and his profile as a 6-foot-3, 204-pound power hitter indicated he would stay there after the Yankees drafted him in the fourth round out of Oklahoma in 2021.
