The Yankees believe James Kaprielian, their first-round draft pick last June, could be a quick mover in their farm system. The teams he is facing along the way want that to be the case.

The 22-year-old right-hander out of UCLA, pitching for the Tampa Yankees, actually lost the game, 3-1, because two errors led to three unearned runs. But the rest of his line?
