Frederick Keys’ third baseman Willy Yahn is playing in his first full-season minor league assignment and is doing quite well. The 25th-round draft pick out of the University of Connecticut in 2017 is probably not well-known among the Baltimore Orioles fan base, despite his best efforts. That’s changing as this season moves along.
Earlier this month my colleague here at BirdsWatcher, Nick Stevens, wrote about Yahn’s old-school style of play and how it is fun to watch. You can read that piece here.
One of Yahn’s Frederick teammates confirmed this when he told me recently that he is “a lot of fun to play with and fun to watch”.
