2025 New York Yankees High Prospects
I reside in New Jersey in the summertime and see lots of New York Yankees minor league video games. Maybe I’m affected by recency bias, however the improvement of the Yankees minor league gamers didn’t go effectively.
I do know the Yankees, followers, and fantasy managers love Spencer Jones. I noticed him play so much (at the least 100 at-bats), and he strikes out A LOT. He can’t hit an inside fastball, and his swing is exceptionally lengthy. He has energy and pace, however until he will get shorter to the ball, I fear that he’ll hit sufficient to make it. Roderick Arias didn’t hit, and whereas I didn’t see him play, I’ve gotten stories that he can’t choose up spin and broaden the strike zone. Henry Lalane was harm and by no means bought it going. These had been three High 100 prospects getting into the season, and whereas Jones remains to be on that checklist, Arias and Lalane aren’t.
On the constructive aspect, George Lombard had a superb season. He must get stronger, however he can hit with extra pace than I initially thought. A number of of the Yankees’ Advanced gamers additionally had nice seasons, however I mentioned that final yr and people scorching gamers in 2023 didn’t translate effectively in Low-A this season.
Lastly, there’s Jasson Dominguez. I keep that he has star potential, however accidents brought on him to overlook appreciable time, and the Yankees needed to play Alex Verdugo greater than I’m assuming they needed down the stretch. I feel that may change in 2024.
