Yankees No. 2 prospect Estevan Florial off to slow AFL start

Following the first 14 Arizona Fall League games, the Yankees affiliate, Glendale Desert Dogs are 4-10.

Considering the entire season lasts all of six weeks (30 games, not including the All-Star and Championship Games), it’s imperative that the seven players representing the Yanks don’t take too long to get going.

Unfortunately, that’s exactly what is happening with Estevan Florial, the No. 45 overall prospect in baseball according to MLB Pipeline.

Through 11 games and 39 at-bats, the 20-year-old center fielder is slashing .128/.209/.205 with four runs scored, one triple, one home run, six RBIs and an alarming 15:4 K:BB ratio.
