2018 MLB Mock Drafts: FanGraphs and MLB.com predict Yankees pick high school bats
As we get closer to the 2018 MLB Draft, outlets begin to ramp up their coverage of the event. That means FanGraphs and MLB.com now have mock drafts that cover the entire first round, which should give us an idea at the kind of talent that the Yankees could be targeting this year. Both outlets have the team taking high school bats in the first round.
FanGraphs has the Yankees taking middle infielder Xavier Edwards with their first round pick. The Florida high school infielder is ranked by MLB.com as the no. 38 prospect in the draft. He is said to have 70-80 grade speed and enough talent in the field to get a chance at shortstop before he is pushed to second base.
