Summary
The Yankees just drafted Luke Pettitte, son of legendary pitcher Andy Pettitte, in the 8th round of the 2026 MLB Draft — and yes, that’s a real family legacy in motion. A two-way standout from Dallas Baptist, Luke hit well last season and pitched effectively the year before, now deciding whether to focus on bat or ball. Andy, with five World Series rings and 19 postseason wins, remains a Yankees advisor — making this a generational moment. Luke joins his older brother Josh, who was drafted in 2013, continuing the Pettitte family’s deep ties to the franchise. With the White Sox taking the top pick in Philly, the baseball world is watching closely to see if Luke can one day take the mound where his dad once reigned supreme.
