Could get Andres Chaparro'dWilly Montero%8%DownSwung and missed a lot.Roc Riggio2%15%NeutralFormer top prep prospect, settled into an OFP 45 prospect. Can hit ball hard but not consistentlyJorbit Vivas2%14%Slight DownOne more season of minor league options, never got it going post-injuriesAnthony Seigler2%15%Slight Up*Undertaker coffin GIF* he showed some moderate gains in the second half, still skeptical though.Omar Martinez%17%UpMore pop than Jesus Rodriguez, but worse swing decisions.Oswald Peraza%12%DownDid not come into camp in the best of shape, set a bad tone for ROS. Should be tradedJackson Castillo%16%UpBest position player UDFA signing the Yankees have had in a while. Interesting batted ball data, OFP 45Elijah Dunham%11%NeutralWent back to AA after rough 2023 in SWB. Jake Cave 2.0?Josh Moylan1%14%NeutralUDFA who's slightly better than Dylan Jasso.Tyler Hardman1%10%DownMurphy's law season. 70-grade power, 20-grade hit toolJace Avina%8%Slight DownSwing-and-miss reared it's ugly head in second half after pitchers made adjustments.

Traded for Leiter Jr.Garrett Martin1%10%NeutralSecond organization, 24 Y.O. in High-A. Not particularly enamoredBen Rice1%17%UpThey really sat this guy for DJLM and optioned him for Rizzo. LolJesus Rodriguez%10%UpBaller. He could skyrocket next seasonOscar Gonzalez%5%NeutralNo.Josue Gonzalez%11%UpYankees rarely promote position players from complex in-season, let alone catchers.

He's got the juiceJuan Matheus%16%Slight UpAnother complex guy promoted after CPX season ended. Interested to get extended look in Tampa next yrJosh VanMeter2%18%NeutralNo.Enmanuel Tejeda3%6%Slight UpI've always been the most bullish in the public realm and continue to be. Batted ball data took a step forwardBrian Sanchez%12%UpSuper toolsy but swing-and-miss concerns could be his undoing. Heckuva get alongside Avina for Jake BauersAbrahan Ramirez%15%UpExcelled before being dealt as the final piece in the Jazz tradeJordan Groshans3%10%NeutralTraded for JD Davis in JuneEverson Pereira%9%DownHas all the tools less the most important one.

Injuries?Queni Pineda%24%UpLess toolsy than C prospects before him, but certified dawgTomas Frick%13%Slight UpTore up Low-A but wasn't promoted. Why?Francisco Vilorio%9%DownYikes.Engelth Urena%15%UpGot off to a surprisingly terrible start, but data always looked good. Eventually figured it out. Big upsideLuis Escudero2%21%Slight UpNot the toolsiest guy, but put up big numbers in the DSLJoel Mendez%16%Slight UpSlightly more bearish than consensus, has obvious holes in swing that will be exploited in affiliated ballBrando Mayea%10%DownPoor damage on contact & was exposed at CPX. Not goodLuis Puello%8%UpDawg.Luis Torrens%8%NeutralHe's had a weird career trajectory, but happy for himJahmai Jones2%10%NeutralNo.Brendan Jones%28%UpBalled out post-draft.
