Following the conclusion of Day 1 of the MLB Draft, I wrote a piece re-ranking the New York Yankees‘ Top 10 prospects. Now, I take a more in-depth look at those players and determine their biggest strengths and weaknesses.

My rankings went as such:

1. Gary Sanchez C
2. Slade Heathcott OF
3. Mason Williams OF
4. Eric Jagielo 3B
5. Tyler Austin 1B/3B/OF
6. Gregory Bird 1B
7. Aaron Judge OF
8. Luis Severino RHP
9. Peter O’Brien C/3B/OF
10. Ian Clarkin LHP

While the Yankees’ farm system certainly does not boast the cream of the crop—Fangraphs ranked them as having the 20th best farm going into the year—there are several players here who have made some waves within the organization.

Of course, any minor leaguer will have some flaws, and so without further ado, it is time to take a closer look and break down what these players do best.
