MLB draft results 2015: Yankees day one summary and reactions
Day one of the 2015 MLB Draft is finished and the Yankees came away with some promising talent in UCLA right-hander James Kaprielian, San Diego shortstop Kyle Holder, and Indiana State left-hander Jeff Degano. So far the Yankees have only taken college-level talent, which seems to be their new focus after taking mostly college arms in 2014. They took two advanced pitchers in Kaprielian and Degano, who some believe to be more low-ceiling/high-floor safer picks like last year. Holder, though, seems to be a more daring pick, but will also likely save the team money when it comes time to hand out the signing bonuses.
