The 2020 season was pretty hard on the New York Yankees in terms of developing talent, as they didn’t hold aU.S. Instructional League program and only had three draft picks due to Gerrit Cole’s signing.
However, fortunately for them, they still have one of the best farm systems in all Major League Baseball and hold plenty of talent on their ranks, with highly-coveted prospects that could even help them right away.
Names like Clarke Schmidtand Deivi Garcia have already been mentioned non-stop in trade talksand judging by what they’ve shown on the limited chances they’ve had, they have a bright future ahead of them.
That’s why MLB.com and Pipeline took the time to rank the top 30 prospects ahead of the 2021 season, and you can rest assure that we’ll see plenty of these young kids in The Big Show this year.
