The New York Yankees first and second round selections in the 2016 amateur draft could not have been more different.
High school outfielder Blake Rutherford was seen as one of the most exciting talents in the draft. MLB.com ranked him as the eighth overall available talent and somehow he fell all the way to New York at number 16. Rutherford was everything a first rounder should be: a potential five tool superstar who destroyed the Appalachian League in his first taste of professional ball.
With their second round pick (62nd overall), the Yankees took second baseman Nick Solak, who was ranked only the 147th best prospect in the draft by MLB.
