Gary Sanchez
Rank: 1 ETA: 2014 Position: C Age: 19, DOB: 12/02/1992 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 2", Weight: 220 Signed: July 2, 2009 - NYY

Like his former organization mate, Jesus Montero, Sanchez is an
offensive-minded backstop, but he's still on the bottom rungs of the Yanks'
system. Sanchez does have some defensive ability, with a plus arm and
glimpses of other skills in the past. In 2011, though, his glovework overall
took a step backward. Sanchez's bat helped him advance in 2012, earning a
promotion to Class A Advanced Tampa in early July, after putting up a
.297/.353/.517 slash line in the South Atlantic League. He was only
19-years-old for all of 2012, with above-average raw power and the potential
to be an excellent all-around hitter, so he has plenty of time to move up the
ladder.

Mason Williams
Rank: 2 ETA: 2015 Position: OF Age: 21, DOB: 08/21/1991 Bats: L, Throws: R
Height: 6' 0", Weight: 150 Drafted: 2010, 4th (145) - NYY

A toolsy outfielder signed out of high school in 2010, Williams started to
show what he can do during his first extended play in pro ball in 2011. He
continued to hit well in the South Atlantic League in 2012, even tapping into
some power, and was promoted to Class A Advanced Tampa in early July. That
promotion was short-lived, as a torn labrum ended his season in early August
and required surgery. A left-handed hitter who can hit for average and should
mature into more power, Williams has a better idea in terms of an approach
than many hitters his age. He has plus speed and will only get better on the
basepaths as he gains more experience. He has everything he needs to be an
above-average defensive center fielder.

Tyler Austin
Rank: 3 ETA: 2015 Position: OF Age: 21, DOB: 09/06/1991 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 2", Weight: 200 Drafted: 2010, 13th (415) - NYY

Austin’s combined .354 average in 2011 was better than any hitter in the
Yankees’ system, and he topped the season off by hitting .429 in the New
York-Penn League playoffs to help short-season Class A Staten Island win yet
another title. He continued to hit the ball well in 2012, putting together a
.320/.405/.598 in the South Atlantic League and earning a promotion to Class
A Advanced Tampa in July. After splitting time at first and third in his
first two seasons in the organization, Austin played almost all of his games
in 2012 in right field. Austin was hit in the head by a pitch and spent three
weeks in June on the disabled list.

Manny Banuelos
Rank: 4 ETA: 2013 Position: LHP Age: 21, DOB: 03/13/1991 Bats: L, Throws: L
Height: 5' 11", Weight: 200 Signed: March 30, 2008 - NYY

The stuff is definitely there for Banuelos to be successful at the Major
League level. All he has to do is learn how to harness it more consistently
and stay healthy. He has three pitches that can be above-average or better
with his fastball, curve and changeup. He's struck out over 9 batters per
nine innings throughout his Minor League career, and his pure stuff has
gotten better in recent years. His command has held him back, though, and he
walked nearly five batters per nine in 2011 and often didn't command his
fastball well within the strike zone. He's shown the ability to do it, and
once he finds consistency he could be ready to help out full time. He was off
to a solid start in 2012, until a bone bruise in his left elbow ended his
season in mid-May.

Slade Heathcott
Rank: 5 ETA: 2014 Position: OF Age: 21, DOB: 09/28/1990 Bats: L, Throws: L
Height: 6' 1", Weight: 190 Drafted: 2009, 1st (29) - NYY

A former two-sport star, Heathcott still has all the raw tools that made the
Yankees want to take him in the first round in 2009. He’s had his share of
issues, both off the field and on, that have held back his development, but
he seems to be headed in the right direction. Heathcott is a high-energy
player with outstanding speed and raw power who needs to harness his
aggressive style and become more selective at the plate and on the basepaths.
Now all he has to do is stay healthy after a pair of shoulder surgeries.
Heathcott got a late start to the 2012 season, after a rehab stint to recover
from his second surgery, but once he returned to action in June he hit well
in the Florida State League, both for average and for power.

Ty Hensley
Rank: 6 ETA: 2016 Position: RHP Age: 19, DOB: 07/30/1993 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 4", Weight: 220 Drafted: 2012, 1st (30) - NYY

Dylan Bundy and Archie Bradley represented the Oklahoma high school ranks in
the first round of the Draft in 2011. In 2012, it was Hensley’s turn. Strong
and durable, he has a fastball that can be above-average, touching 94 mph
when he needs to reach back for a little extra. His hard curve has good
downer rotation at times, but it becomes slurvy when he drops his arm angle.
Hensley didn’t need a changeup much in high school, so it’s behind the
other two, but it should be a usable third pitch. He’s aggressive on the
mound and tends to be around the strike zone, with his command sure to
improve as he refines his mechanics.

Zoilo Almonte
Rank: 7 ETA: 2013 Position: OF Age: 23, DOB: 06/10/1989 Bats: S, Throws: R
Height: 6' 0", Weight: 205 Signed: July 2, 2005 - NYY

The young Dominican outfielder reached Double-A for the first time and upped
his numbers in pretty much every offensive category in 2011. He hit even
better when he repeated the level in 2012. Although not overly toolsy,
Almonte does have some power and speed, enough for him to be a double-digit
contributor in homers and steals. He’s played all three outfield positions
and might be a fourth outfielder when all is said and done, though if the
power continues to come, he could settle into a corner spot nicely. Almonte
missed over a month of the 2012 season dealing with hamstring spasms, but
after rehabbing in Florida he re-joined Trenton in late May and stayed
healthy for the rest of the season.

Angelo Gumbs
Rank: 8 ETA: 2015 Position: 2B Age: 19, DOB: 10/13/1992 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 0", Weight: 175 Drafted: 2010, 2nd (82) - NYY

The SoCal high school product has some nice tools, but he’s still very raw.
Gumbs has very good bat speed that should allow him to be a good hitter down
the line, though he’s very aggressive at the plate, as well as in other
aspects of the game. He’s a decent runner who goes all-out all the time. A
shortstop in high school, he’s played second in his first two seasons in the
organization. Some think a future home in the outfield might make sense. His
2012 season was his first taste of full-season ball, but an elbow injury
ended his season at the end of June.

Dante Bichette Jr.
Rank: 9 ETA: 2014 Position: 3B Age: 19, DOB: 09/26/1992 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 1", Weight: 215 Drafted: 2011, 1st (51) - NYY

After the Yankees made Bichette their first selection in the 2011 Draft, the
son of the former big leaguer signed quickly and went out and played well.
Watching the younger Bichette hit can be a bit eerie for those who remember
his father, but the approach certainly worked as he ended up the MVP of the
Gulf Coast League. As the son of a player, he has an advanced approach to the
game and he was better than advertised at third base. His 2012 campaign, in
the South Atlantic League, was less successful, with his numbers dropping
across the board.

Ramon Flores
Rank: 10 ETA: 2014 Position: OF Age: 20, DOB: 03/26/1992 Bats: L, Throws: L
Height: 5' 11", Weight: 190 Signed: July 4, 2008 - NYY

Put simply, Flores can flat out hit. The left-handed hitter has a terrific
approach at the plate, with outstanding plate discipline. He has some power,
but he’s more of a gap guy who uses all fields. Even without great speed, he
’s a very good baserunner who will steal a base now and again. He’s mostly
played left field, though he’s seen time at all three outfield spots as well
as at first base. Wherever he plays, it’s his bat that will carry him up the
ladder.

Adam Warren
Rank: 11 ETA: 2012 Position: RHP Age: 25, DOB: 08/25/1987 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 2", Weight: 225 Drafted: 2009, 4th (135) - NYY

Very quietly, Warren made quick work of the Yankees’ system, pitching all
year in Triple-A in 2011. He repeated the level in 2012, making his Major
League debut in late June. The North Carolina product has seen his stuff
improve as a pro, but he’s never going to wow scouts with plus pitches. He’
s more of a command and control type who doesn’t typically hurt himself with
walks and has proven to be a durable workhorse type. He may not have the
highest upside in the world, but he could have a very effective career as an
innings-eater in the back half of a rotation.

Nik Turley
Rank: 12 ETA: 2014 Position: LHP Age: 22, DOB: 09/11/1989 Bats: L, Throws: L
Height: 6' 6", Weight: 230 Drafted: 2008, 50th (1,502)

Turley has shaken off a broken bone in his pitching hand suffered in the
second half of 2011 to become one of the most effective pitchers in the
Yankees’ system in 2012. The big lefty will touch the low 90s with his
fastball and complements it with a very good curve and a changeup that should
be a fine third option. He doesn’t hurt himself with walks and uses his
height to create a good downhill plane. Turley's not a high ceiling guy, but
has the chance to pitch in a big league rotation in the future.

Jose A. Ramirez
Rank: 13 ETA: 2014 Position: RHP Age: 22, DOB: 01/21/1990 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 1", Weight: 155 Signed: June 10, 2007

Ramirez took a step back with a subpar 2011 season, but has bounced back with
a solid 2012 campaign. His fastball can touch the mid 90s at times, and he’
ll throw a very good changeup and a slider to go along with it. He improved
his command and cut his walk rate while continuing to keep the ball down and
get groundballs. If he can continue that refinement and add some strength,
Ramirez has the chance to be a solid starter at the big league level.

Mark Montgomery
Rank: 14 ETA: 2013 Position: RHP Age: 22, DOB: 08/30/1990 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 5' 11", Weight: 205 Drafted: 2011, 11th (359) - NYY

Montgomery is on a fast track to a job in the Yankees’ bullpen. The Longwood
product uses an outstanding fastball-slider combination to dominate as a
short reliever. The slider is the better offering, a true plus pitch that
generates a lot of swings and misses. His fastball will sit in the low 90s to
go along with the wipeout breaking ball. Already in Double-A in his first
full season, Montgomery has closed in the Minors. Even if he doesn’t serve
that role in New York, he has the chance to have a big impact.

Jose Pirela
Rank: 15 ETA: 2013 Position: 2B Age: 22, DOB: 11/21/1989 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 5' 10", Weight: 191 Signed: July 2, 2006 - NYY

Signed initially as an shortstop, Pirela has moved all over the diamond in
2012, during his second taste of Double-A. After struggling offensively a
year ago, he’s shown the kind of hitting promise that made him a big
prospect out of Venezuela. He has a solid approach at the plate and can spray
line drives to the gaps. He’s an average runner but maximizes it with an
all-out style of play. No longer an everyday shortstop, Pirela has the chance
to be an interesting offensive-minded utilityman.

Jose Campos
Rank: 16 ETA: 2014 Position: RHP Age: 20, DOB: 07/27/1992 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 4", Weight: 195 Signed: Jan. 15, 2009 - SEA

Campos, who joined the Yankees’ organization along with Michael Pineda in
the trade with the Mariners for Jesus Montero and Hector Noesi, made his U.S.
debut in 2011 a stirring one, going to the advanced short-season Northwest
League before he turned 19 and promptly leading the circuit in ERA and
strikeouts. The 2012 season was set to be his first full one in the pros, but
an elbow injury ended his year after only five starts in the South Atlantic
League. A big right-hander who can run his fastball up to 95 mph, Campos has
a very good curve, and he’s developing a changeup as well. He has a pretty
good feel for pitching, and if he can stay healthy he might move more quickly
than one would think.

Dellin Betances
Rank: 17 ETA: 2013 Position: RHP Age: 24, DOB: 03/23/1988 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 8", Weight: 260 Drafted: 2006, 8th (254) - NYY

Betances has a three-pitch mix, with his fastball and curve grading out as
plus pitches. He throws in the mid-90s and uses his size to create a good
downhill plane. His power curve is outstanding, though he sometimes has
trouble throwing it for strikes. Betances’ changeup is behind those two, but
it has shown glimpses and at the very least will be an average third
offering. His command took a step backward in 2011 and regressed even further
in 2012, when he walked a whopping 8.3 batters per nine innings in 16 starts
with Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre. The Yankees demoted him to Double-A in
June, and placed him on the disabled list in late August with shoulder
soreness. He’ll need to show that he can stay healthy and harness his stuff
a bit better to have long-term success.

Austin Aune
Rank: 18 ETA: 2016 Position: SS Age: 19, DOB: 09/06/1993 Bats: L, Throws: R
Height: 6' 2", Weight: 190 Drafted: 2012, 2nd (89) - NYY

A two-sport star in high school, Aune had the ability to make it in either
football or baseball and the Yankees were able to sign him away from Texas
Christian. A potential five-tool player, Aune bats lefty and has potential
plus power. He has good range at shortstop and a great arm, but some scouts
think that a move to the outfield could be in his near future. Aune could
potentially play center field at the next level, especially because of his
great speed and arm. Although a bit raw, Aune has upside and great makeup,
which should allow him to learn quickly now that he’s focusing on baseball
only.

Zachary Nuding
Rank: 19 ETA: 2014 Position: RHP Age: 22, DOB: 03/29/1990 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 4", Weight: 250 Drafted: 2010, 30th (925) - NYY

The big right-hander has a big arm to match. The junior college product has a
fastball that easily hits the mid-90s and he will pitch with a downhill plane
and a good amount of sink. He’ll throw a slider and changeup to complement
it, though the offspeed pitch isn’t as good as the other two. He’s improved
his walk rate considerably in 2012, giving more hope he can start.
Worst-case, Nuding has the power stuff that would work well in short relief
if things don’t continue to come together. He missed nearly two months on
the disabled list, but returned in late July to pitch well for Tampa in the
Florida State League.

Ravel Santana
Rank: 20 ETA: 2015 Position: OF Age: 20, DOB: 05/01/1992 Bats: R, Throws: R
Height: 6' 2", Weight: 160 Signed: Nov. 17, 2008 - NYY

Another toolsy outfielder in the lower levels of the system, Santana tore up
the Gulf Coast League in his U.S. debut in 2011 until an ankle injury ended
his season. He moved to the New York-Penn League in 2012 and struggled to
adjust, with more strikeouts and fewer extra-base hits. Still, he has
above-average to plus tools across the board, with the potential to hit for
power. He has a pretty good approach at the plate with excellent bat speed,
so he should hit for average as well. He’s a very good defender with a plus
arm. If he can return to form, he and Mason Williams might run into each
other soon, but that’s a good problem for the Yankees to have.
