The Yankees are high on their No. 3 overall prospect Albert Abreu, and rightfully so. Originally acquired from the Astros as part of the Brian McCann trade in November of 2016, the 22-year-old right-hander has a fastball that regularly reaches 98-mph to go along with a power breaking ball and a fading changeup that often leaves the opposition looking foolish.
According to Brenden Kuty of NJ.com, a representative from the Giants organization had this to say about MLB.com’s 60th best prospect in all of baseball.
“If you squint hard,” the person said, there are shades of Yankees ace and two-time All-Star Luis Severino in Abreu, but control issues are a concern.
