Over the last two seasons, no prospect in the farm system has shot up the rankings more than Estevan Florial. The Yankees signed Florial as part of their 2014-15 international signing spree, though he was not a high profile signing. He signed for $200,000 late in the signing period after being suspended by MLB for a paperwork issue. (He moved from Haiti to the Dominican Republic and his mother enrolled him in school using a different name.)
Florial, who turned only 20 in November, came to the United States in 2016 and blew the doors off the rookie Appalachian League, then dominated last season at mostly Low-A Charleston.
