Tyler Wade found out the Yankees drafted him on TV

Last week, Yankees infielder/outfielder Tyler Wade joined us on The Bronx Pinstripes Show (@YankeesPodcast).

Tyler talked about his Arizona Fall League experience playing outfield for the first time, the upcoming Spring Training and being drafted by the team he rooted for a kid, the New York Yankees.

Tyler discusses his emotions on draft day at the 32:25 mark.

The 2013 MLB Draft happened to coincide with Tyler’s high school graduation.

“It was crazy because I was graduating and I had to have my phone on me because I was waiting for teams to call in the second round,” Wade said.
