MLB Draft 2015: Yankees 2015 draft pick results tracker and social media guide
Keeping track of all the newest Yankees from the 2015 draft class.At long last, the 2015 MLB Draft is at a close. The Yankees selected 41 players over the weekend, and by beat writer Bryan Hoch's count, here was the breakdown: 20 righthanded pitchers, five outfielders, four lefthanded pitchers, four first basemen, two catchers, two second basemen, two third basemen, and a partridge in a pear tree two shortstops. All but seven of their picks were college players, indicating that the Yankees decided to go for more complete players rather than longer-term projects, a strategy that makes some sense given the team's mass international spending on raw 16 and 17-year-old last year and the relative weakness of the overall 2015 draft class compared to previous years
