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 |
