The Yankees’ farm system is not quite at its best, but it’s very good and deep. There are lots of pitchers and high-upside middle infielders, but since baseball always makes some room for potential surprises and breakthrough performers, we will mention the five prospects currently not on the team’s top 10 who could make that list at the end of 2022.
Newly-signed Roderick Arias is likely to immediately pop into the top 10 whenever evaluators and specialized sites update their lists, so he wasn’t considered for this particular exercise.
