Yankees 2021 Prospect Preview: Anthony Seigler

There was plenty of buzz around Anthony Seigler when the Yankees selected him 23rd overall in the 2018 MLB Draft. An athletic, switch-hitting catcher (who was also a switch-pitcher in high school), he fit in perfectly with what the Yankees were looking for in their system. Drafted out of high school, expectations were high for Seigler.

However, he hasn’t done much to back that up so far. Seigler was once ranked as the team’s second-best position player prospect, but has now fallen outside the top 20. He’s only played 54 games since being drafted, which is also part of the problem.
