The Yankees have a potential pitching crisis coming when it comes to homegrown talent. Maybe that was one of the reasons why they felt comfortable taking a calculated gamble on Carlos Rodon this past winter.
New York’s best pitching prospect within the organization — according to MLB.com — is Drew Thorpe. He’s showing everyone why that’s the case with the Single-A Hudson Valley Renegades.
Thorpe, who will turn 23 in October, was selected by the Yankees in the second round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
