‘High-end’ Yankees pick Brendan Beck expected to be fast riser
NY Post
The most recent Yankees draft pick to make it to the big leagues is 2017 first-rounder Clarke Schmidt, the right-hander who debuted three years later.
The Yankees believe they could have another fast riser in their second-round pick from this year’s draft, Stanford right-hander Brendan Beck, according to VP of domestic amateur scouting Damon Oppenheimer. “We think he could be really close,” Oppenheimer said Wednesday, a day after the MLB draft wrapped up. “There’s not a lot that has to happen with him. There’s not a lot of development that has to go in. He just probably needs to build up innings. … We think we’re getting a high-end starter.”More Related News
