Summary
The Yankees just drafted Luke Pettitte, son of legendary pitcher Andy Pettitte, in the eighth round of the 2026 MLB Draft — and he’s no ordinary prospect. A two-way star from Dallas Baptist, Luke mashed 16 homers and hit .341 last season while also pitching with a 3.19 ERA. Despite undergoing Tommy John surgery and missing 2026, his bat and arm still dazzled. Andy, a five-time World Series champ and 22nd-round pick himself, coached Luke in high school — and now, as a special advisor, he’s watching his son’s rise. With elite pitching accuracy and serious power at the plate, Luke could rewrite the Pettitte legacy — and the Yankees are already plotting how to use him.
