Gary Sanchez
Rank: 1 (Preseason: 1) Tampa Yankees (A Adv) ETA: 2015 Position: C
Age: 20, DOB: 12/02/1992
Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 6' 2", Weight: 220
Signed: July 2, 2009 - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 3/5 | Power: 5/7 | Run: 2/2 | Arm: 7/7
| Field: 3/5 | Overall: 4/6
Sanchez has been on radars since the Yankees gave him $3 million to sign out
of the Dominican Republic. Hitting .353 in his United States debut didn’t
hurt and he’s tantalized with his skills since. Sanchez appears to have put
some of the attitude issues he had during his full-season debut in 2011
behind him and it should be noted he’ll still be just 20 years old for all
of the 2013 season. Sanchez earned a promotion in 2012 and his bat should
help him continue to move up the ladder. He has above-average raw power and
his approach at the plate has improved, giving him the chance to be an
outstanding all-around hitter. He’s always had a plus arm behind the plate,
but there had been questions about his ability to handle the defensive rigors
of the position in the past. He did seem to make some strides with the glove,
though he needs to continue to work on his receiving skills, and the Yankees
hope that can continue.
Mason Williams
Rank: 2 (Preseason: 2) Tampa Yankees (A Adv) ETA: 2015 Position: OF
Age: 21, DOB: 08/21/1991
Bats: L, Throws: R Height: 6' 0", Weight: 150
Drafted: 2010, 4th (145) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 3/5 | Power: 3/4 | Run: 7/7 | Arm: 5/5
| Field: 5/6 | Overall: 5/6
From a raw tools perspective, Williams is one of the more intriguing
prospects in baseball. In 2012, he started to really use his skills more
consistently on the field and earned a promotion up a level as a result.
Unfortunately, a shoulder injury cut his season short. Williams has some
definite ability with the bat, with a solid approach and a handsy swing that
allows him to cover the plate well. It's more of a slap/slash approach right
now, but some feel there's power to come as he matures. Williams can go get
the ball in center field with good range and a solid arm. As he hones his
skills on the basepaths, he should become a more consistent basestealing
threat. All he needs is time and he'll be ready for center field in the big
leagues. If the bat develops, he has the chance to be an elite-level player.
Tyler Austin
Rank: 3 (Preseason: 3) Status: Disabled 7-Day ETA: 2014 Position: OF
Age: 21, DOB: 09/06/1991 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 6' 1", Weight: 220
Drafted: 2010, 13th (415) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 5/6 | Power: 4/5 | Run: 5/5 |
Arm: 5/5 | Field: 5/5 | Overall: 5/6
Austin burst on the scene in 2011 when he hit .354 in two short-season stops.
Despite missing time with a concussion that forced him out of the Futures
Game in 2012, he showed that his previous season was no mirage. He reached
Double-A, even homering in the playoffs, while topping the organization in
batting average and slugging percentage while finishing second in on-base
percentage and third in RBIs. A former infielder, Austin made a smooth
transition to right field and should profile well there, though perhaps
without the plus power some like to see from the position. Still, he has a
very good approach at the plate and a quick swing that should allow him to
continue to hit for average. He’s a good baserunner with average speed, and
has the arm and range to be a good defensive outfielder. It’s not often
13th-round picks turn into big league regulars, but this one has a chance to
do just that.
Rafael De Paula
Rank: 4 (Preseason: NR) Tampa Yankees (A Adv) ETA: 2016 Position: RHP
Age: 22, DOB: 03/24/1991 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 6' 2", Weight: 212
Signed: Nov. 18, 2010 - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Fastball: 6/7 | Curve: 4/6 | Changeup: 4/5
| Control: 4/5 | Overall: 4/6
De Paula first appeared as a prospect in 2008 as Rafael DePaula Figueroa. He
was suspended for a year after an MLB investigation into his identity. After
producing his real documents and birthdate, De Paula struggled with visa
issues for more than a year. He finally made his professional debut in the
Dominican Summer League in 2012. His premium fastball has made the wait worth
it. De Paula has touched 99 mph and sits in the mid-90s. He also throws a
hard curveball and changeup. De Paula made his U.S. debut this year, and
appears poised to take a big step forward.
Eric Jagielo
Rank: 5 (Preseason: NR) Staten Island Yankees (A Short) ETA: 2016 Position: 3B
Age: 21, DOB: 05/17/1992 Bats: L, Throws: R Height: 6' 2", Weight: 195
Drafted: 2013, 1st (26) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 4/6 | Power: 4/6 | Run: 3/3 |
Arm: 5/5 | Field: 4/5 | Overall: 4/6
Left-handed hitting third basemen are always a hot commodity, so when Jagielo
carried over a strong Cape Cod League season into his junior year at Notre
Dame, he became a sure-fire first-rounder, one who could eventually man the
hot corner for the Yankees in the Bronx. He has legit pop, showing it with
wood in the Cape as well, and should hit for both average and power in the
future. While some worried about his ability to stay at third in the past,
Jagielo showed good defensive improvement in 2013 and answered some of those
questions. The Yankees certainly had no plans to move him and he should fit
the profile of a run-producing third baseman very well.
Zoilo Almonte
Rank: 6 (Preseason: 10) ETA: 2013 Position: OF
Age: 24, DOB: 06/10/1989 Bats: S, Throws: R Height: 6' 0", Weight: 205
Signed: July 2, 2005 - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 4/5 | Power: 4/5 | Run: 4/4 |
Arm: 5/5 | Field: 5/5 | Overall: 4/5
A year after reaching Double-A for the first time, Almonte showed his 2011
prodution wasn't a fluke. In 2012, he finished third in the organization in
homers and slugging percentage. He's a very aggressive hitter with a bit of
an all-or-nothing approach at the plate. Athletic and bit stocky, there's
definite strength there and some refinement at the plate might allow him to
tap into more power. While he has fringy speed, he's shown some baserunning
acumen and could continue to put up double-digit stolen-base totals. He's
played all three outfield spots in the past, but settled into right field in
2012, where he should be an average defender. Some see him as more of a
fourth outfielder when all is said and done, but if the overall hitting
abilty can come, he still has the chance to be an everyday corner outfielder.
Slade Heathcott
Rank: 7 (Preseason: 4) Trenton Thunder (AA) ETA: 2014 Position: OF
Age: 22, DOB: 09/28/1990 Bats: L, Throws: L Height: 6' 0", Weight: 195
Drafted: 2009, 1st (29) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 3/6 | Power: 4/5 | Run: 7/7 |
Arm: 6/6 | Field: 6/6 | Overall: 5/6
Heathcott has always been blessed with tremendous raw tools, but has had
trouble developing them, dealing both with injury and off-the-field issues.
The 2012 season may prove to be the year the Yankees look back on as the time
when the outfielder really started to put things together. He still only
played in 65 games as he was delayed coming back from shoulder surgery, but
he performed well in the Florida State League and then kept going with a
strong Arizona Fall League showing. Heathcott has all the tools in the box,
starting with plus speed that works on both sides of the ball. He has a very
quick bat and can drive the ball to all fields, with more than enough future
power, though he needs to continue to work on his selectivity. He can flat
out play the outfield with a well above-average arm. He plays with an all-out
style that's infectious. It's all about health at this point. If he can stay
on the field, he has the chance to be an impact player.
Manny Banuelos
Rank: 8 (Preseason: 5) Status: Disabled 60-Day ETA: 2015 Position: LHP
Age: 22, DOB: 03/13/1991 Bats: L, Throws: L Height: 5' 10", Weight: 155
Signed: March 30, 2008 - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Fastball: 5/6 | Curveball: 5/6 |
Changeup: 5/6 | Control: 4/5 | Overall: 5/6
Banuelos was on the brink of making the Yankees back in 2011 as one of the
most exciting left-handed pitching prospects in baseball, but has backslid
since. While he reached Triple-A in 2011, he lost some of his feel for
pitching and his command dissipated considerably. He made just six starts in
2012 and eventually needed, and had, Tommy John surgery. He'll miss the 2013
season as a result, but he's still young enough to bounce back and reclaim
the buzz surrounding him. When he's healthy, he has the chance to have three
above-average pitches in his fastball, curve and changeup and has shown the
ability to have average command in the past.
Ian Clarkin
Rank: 9 (Preseason: NR) Status: ETA: 2017 Position: LHP
Age: 18, DOB: 02/14/1995 Bats: L, Throws: L Height: 6' 2", Weight: 186
Drafted: 2013, 1st (33) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Fastball: 5/6 | Curve: 4/5 | Changeup: 4/5
| Control: 5/6 | Overall: 4/6
While he might best be known right now as the guy who had said he hated the
Yankees in a video recorded well before he was drafted by them, Clarkin has
the stuff to make a big name for himself on the mound. The San Diego area
high school standout has the chance to have a very good three-pitch mix from
the left side. He'll throw his fastball up to 92-93 mph and will complement
it with a solid power curve. His changeup should give him a third pitch
that's at least Major League average and he projects to have above-average
command of his arsenal when all is said and done.
Ty Hensley
Rank: 10 (Preseason: 6) Status: Disabled 60-Day ETA: 2017 Position: RHP
Age: 19, DOB: 07/30/1993 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 6' 4", Weight: 220
Drafted: 2012, 1st (30) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Fastball: 6/7 | Curveball: 4/6 |
Changeup: 4/5 | Control: 4/5 | Overall: 4/6
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.
Mark Montgomery
Rank: 11 (Preseason: 9) Status: Rehab Assignment ETA: 2013 Position: RHP
Age: 22, DOB: 08/30/1990 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 5' 11", Weight: 205
Drafted: 2011, 11th (359) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Fastball: 5/6 | Slider: 5/6 |
Changeup: 4/5 | Control: 4/5 | Overall: 5/6
In just his first full season of pro ball, this Longwood product put up
eye-popping numbers while reaching Double-A. He topped the organization in
saves and struck out 13.8 per nine innings. That kind of performance
continued in the Arizona Fall League, leaving him poised to potentially make
an impact out of the Yankees' bullpen soon. While he is up to 93 mph with his
fastball, his best pitch is a nasty slider that has sharp bite and tilt. He
pitches with deception, giving him even more swing-and-miss ability. Whether
he closes at the big league level remains to be seen, but he should be ready
to get big league hitters out in 2013.
JR Murphy
Rank: 12 (Preseason: NR) Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (AAA)
ETA: 2014 Position: C
Age: 22, DOB: 05/13/1991 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 5' 11", Weight: 195
Drafted: 2009, 2nd (76) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 4/5 | Power: 3/4 | Run: 4/4 |
Arm: 5/5 | Field: 4/5 | Overall: 3/5
During the early stages of his career with the Yankees, Murphy split time
between third base and catcher, with the Yankees hoping he'd develop behind
the plate but mostly wanting his bat to carry him up the ladder. It appears
they are getting their cake and eating it, too. Murphy started catching
full-time in 2012 and continued to do so in 2013, reaching the Minors'
highest level in the process. He's always had a good approach at the plate
and his power was starting to show up more consistently in games. His catch
and throw skills have improved the more time he has spent behind the plate,
meaning the Yankees could have a solid all-around, if a bit offensive-minded,
big league catcher on their hands soon.
Jose A. Ramirez
Rank: 13 (Preseason: 13) Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (AAA)
ETA: 2014 Position: RHP
Age: 23, DOB: 01/21/1990 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 6' 3", Weight: 190
Signed: June 10, 2007
Scouting Grades (present/future): Fastball: 6/7 | Slider: 5/6 |
Changeup: 4/5 | Control: 4/5 | Overall: 4/ 5
It's taken three seasons, but this Dominican right-hander appears to be ready
to leave the world of A ball behind him. He spent three years between
Charleston and Tampa, but showed real progress in 2012, particularly in
putting up a 2.17 ERA in the second half of the season. He cut his walk rate
– command has been the main thing holding his development up – and he
generated a ton of ground-ball outs. His fastball has always been his best
pitch, easily above-average if not plus, hitting 95 mph consistently. His
power slider has improved and should give him a second above-average
offering, a breaking ball with true tilt. By the end of the year, his
changeup had shown considerable improvement. If that continues, along with
the improvements on the control/command front, he has the chance to start.
His power repertoire would work just fine in the bullpen as well.
Jose Campos
Rank: 14 (Preseason: 12) Charleston RiverDogs (A Full)
ETA: 2016 Position: RHP
Age: 20, DOB: 07/27/1992 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 6' 4", Weight: 195
Signed: Jan. 15, 2009 - SEA
Scouting Grades (present/future): Fastball: 6/6 | Curveball: 4/5 |
Changeup: 5/5 | Control: 5/6 | Overall: 4/ 5
There was a lot of excitement surrounding Campos as he embarked on his
Yankees career. The right-hander was coming off a stirring United States
debut in the Mariners system and came to New York prior to the 2012 season
with Michael Pineda in the Jesus Montero deal. Unfortunately, Campos' Yankees
career was put on hold after just five starts due to an elbow issue. The
Yankees hope he'll stay healthy in 2013 and go back to developing what looks
like an intriguing three-pitch mix. He has the chance to have an
above-average fastball to go along with Major League average secondary
pitches. All of it might play up thanks to his above-average control. Before
worrying about that, though, the Yankees will want to get him through a
healthy full season.
Dante Bichette Jr.
Rank: 15 (Preseason: 8) Charleston RiverDogs (A Full) ETA: 2016 Position: 3B
Age: 20, DOB: 09/26/1992 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 6' 1", Weight: 215
Drafted: 2011, 1st (51) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 3/5 | Power: 3/5 | Run: 3/3 |
Arm: 5/5 | Field: 4/5 | Overall: 3/5
The son of the former big leaguer created some serious buzz when he signed
early in 2011 and set the Gulf Coast League on fire, winning the rookie-level
league's MVP honors. His aggressive push to full-season ball didn't go quite
as well, though he's clearly young enough where even a repeat of level
wouldn't be such a bad thing. There is obviously plenty to project when
evaluating Bichette. He has a good feel for the game and has shown a solid
approach at the plate. He has the chance to be an average hitter with Major
League average power, even if it takes a bit longer than expected to get
there. He's been better than expected defensively and he should be able to
stay at third base. Bichette gets high marks for his makeup and work ethic,
so the adversity he dealt with in 2012 isn't likely to have long-term adverse
effects.
Ramon Flores
Rank: 16 (Preseason: 11) Trenton Thunder (AA) ETA: 2014 Position: OF
Age: 21, DOB: 03/26/1992 Bats: L, Throws: L Height: 5' 10", Weight: 150
Signed: July 4, 2008 - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 4/5 | Power: 3/5 | Run: 5/5 |
Arm: 4/4 | Field: 5/5 | Overall: 3/ 5
Flores has steadily moved up the organizational ladder, bringing his advanced
approach and outstanding bat with him. He moved up to the Florida State
League in 2012 and finished fourth in the league in batting average, moving
up to Double-A at the end of the year and contributing to Trenton's Eastern
League playoff run. While his overall tools don't necessarily jump off the
page, he simply knows how to hit. He uses the whole field with a little
power, though it's mostly to the gaps. He's a solid runner with basestealing
ability and he's shown an ability to play all three outfield spots capably.
If you dream on the bat, you might see Flores as a future everyday left
fielder. If not, he still could be a very valuable fourth outfielder.
Nik Turley
Rank: 17 (Preseason: 14) Trenton Thunder (AA) ETA: 2014 Position: LHP
Age: 23, DOB: 09/11/1989 Bats: L, Throws: L Height: 6' 4", Weight: 195
Drafted: 2008, 50th (1,502) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Fastball: 5/6 | Curveball: 4/6 |
Changeup: 4/5 | Control: 4/5 | Overall: 4/5
If you're a big, strong lefty with good command in the Yankees system, you're
bound to be compared, however unfairly, to Andy Pettitte. But Turley welcomes
it and even got the chance to apprentice under Pettitte when the veteran came
to Tampa en route to his 2012 comeback. With a great pitching frame, he has
the chance to have four Major League average or better pitches. His fastball
is up to 92 mph at times and he can command it to both sides of the plate.
His curve has some nasty bite to it at times. When he's executing it well, it
freezes hitters. His changeup also has the chance to be very effective and it
dives at times. He competes well, gets ahead and finds a way to keep his team
in games even without his best stuff.
Bryan Mitchell
Rank: 18 (Preseason: 15) Tampa Yankees (A Adv) ETA: 2015 Position: RHP
Age: 22, DOB: 04/19/1991 Bats: L, Throws: R Height: 6' 2", Weight: 195
Drafted: 2009, 16th (495) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Fastball: 6/7 | Curveball: 5/6 |
Changeup: 3/5 | Control: 3/5 | Overall: 4/5
If you're looking for a Yankees arm with big-time stuff, then Mitchell might
be your guy. He made his full-season debut in 2012 and while there's clearly
work to be done, the arm strength alone is enough to make you sit up and take
notice. Using a fastball up to 96 mph, Mitchell struck out better than a
batter per inning in 2012, finishing third in the system in strikeouts. He
complements the fastball with a true, downer curve, which can be unhittable
at times. His changeup is behind the other two, but more than anything,
Mitchell needs to improve his command. He's walked close to five per nine
innings in his brief career and that will have to improve for him to stay in
a rotation. The evolution from thrower to pitcher may take more time, but the
electric stuff makes it worth watching the process.
Aaron Judge
Rank: 19 (Preseason: NR) Status: ETA: 2016 Position: OF
Age: 21, DOB: 04/26/1992 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 6' 7", Weight: 230
Drafted: 2013, 1st (32) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 3/5 | Power: 4/7 | Run: 5/5 |
Arm: 6/6 | Field: 5/6 | Overall: 4/5
There's no question Judge stands out on the baseball field because of his
size. The Yankees are hopeful he can do so with his bat as well. While some
felt the Fresno State product would go a bit earlier on Draft night, the
Yankees were happy to get Judge's offensive potential at the bottom of the
first round. Judge's raw power from the right side of the plate is legitimate
and if he can hit consistently enough to tap into it, it could be a plus tool
in the future. That "if" might've been why he didn't go earlier, though Judge
isn't an all-or-nothing, one dimensional player. He actually has some plate
discipline, runs well for his size and has a strong arm, giving him all the
raw tools to develop into a prototypical corner outfielder in the future.
Angelo Gumbs
Rank: 20 (Preseason: 7) Status: Temporary Inactive List ETA: 2015 Position: 2B
Age: 20, DOB: 10/13/1992 Bats: R, Throws: R Height: 6' 0", Weight: 175
Drafted: 2010, 2nd (82) - NYY
Scouting Grades (present/future): Hit: 4/6 | Power: 3/5 | Run: 6/6 |
Arm: 5/5 | Field: 4/5 | Overall: 4/5
Slowly and steadly, Gumbs is turning himself into a very intriguing second
base prospect. A shortstop in high school, he's worked diligently to become a
better defender and while some thought a move to the outfield would be in his
future, few doubt his ability to stay on the right side of the infield. Gumbs
has excellent speed and is a top-notch baserunner who should continue to
steal bases as he moves up the ladder. He definitely has some ability with
the bat and if he can tone down his approach a bit he has the chance to hit
for a high average and tap into his average power. He played in just 67 games
during his full-season debut in 2012, with an elbow injury ending his year in
June. A healthy season in 2013 could help him take off.
