Homegrown prospects are the specialty of the New York Yankees. Just think Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Jorge Posada and, most recently, Aaron Judge. These Yankees have way with prospects.
Tyler Wade is one of those guys. After serving in all levels of the Yankees farm system, the 23-year-old finally got a spot on the Opening Day roster for the Bombers.
Coming out of spring training looking like a defensive veteran and batting .286, Wade was destined to get opportunities to break out in a big way.
So far, that hasn’t happened.
