In the first round, the real Yankees are most likely to take a college bat over the past five years. Letting that be our guide, let's look at some college bats that could potentially be available at pcik 23.

I will assume to top five college bats will be gone (Madrigal, Bohm, Swaggerty, Bart, and India). If any of them are somehow available, then they are an obvious target.

Here's a list of college bat targets, based on my own rankings:

Name Pos. YR School
Trevor Larnach OF JR Oregon State
Jeremy Eierman SS JR Missouri State
Steele Walker OF JR Oklahoma
Greyson Jenista 1B/OF JR Wichita State
Jake McCarthy OF JR Virginia
Tristan Pompey OF JR Kentucky
Seth Beer 1B/OF JR Clemson
Nico Hoerner SS/2B JR Stanford
Griffin Conine OF JR Duke
Jameson Hannah OF JR Dallas Baptist
Kyler Murray OF R-SO Oklahoma
Luken Baker 1B JR Texas Christian
Cadyn Grenier SS JR Oregon State
Kyle Isbel OF JR UNLV
