The history of the 20th and 55th picks in the MLB Draft

Tomorrow will see the beginning of this year’s MLB Draft, and a return to a more extended edition after last year’s three-round affair. Thanks to the Yankees’ less than stellar regular season in the shortened year, they’re set to pick at No. 20 overall, their highest selection since No. 16 back in 2017 (Clarke Schmidt). They’re also set to pick at No. 55 overall for their second-round selection.

While there are no shortage of mock drafts out there telling you who the Yankees could select this year, this isn’t that. Instead, let’s take a look at the players who have been picked at those spots recently and see the range of prospects the Yankees could end up with.
