One of the players most hurt by the New York Yankees enormous collection of top shortstop prospects is 20-year-old Thairo Estrada, who has more or less fallen off the radar of more fans and analysts despite another strong season in 2016.
In his first taste of full-season ball, Estrada hit .290/.346/.391 with eight home runs and 18 steals in 118 games (499 PA) for the Low-A Charleston Riverdogs and High-A Tampa Yankees. He faltered slightly at first upon his promotion to the Florida State League, but finished the year strong despite being almost three years younger than his average competition.
