Get to know New York Yankees prospect and 2019 draftee Josh Smith out of LSU.
This Yankees prospect was absolutely built from the right mold.
The New York Yankees could always use more versatility at the big league level, and they lost a prospect with that exact profile in 2018 when they chose Thairo Estrada over Nick Solak and went for Brandon Drury. Ehh, maybe not the best allocation of resources.
Luckily, the Yankees drafted a perfectly legitimate option in the second round in 2019 when they pulled the trigger on LSU’s Josh Smith, whose NYY career has been short, but distinguished.
