## Resource

The Yankees are drafting later than ever—no first-round pick this year due to luxury tax penalties—but that doesn’t mean they’re out of the hunt for stars. With their first selection at 35, they’re eyeing overlooked high school talent who might have slipped due to signing concerns. History proves it’s possible to find game-changers late—think Aaron Judge (32nd in 2013) and Derek Jeter (35th in 1992). With picks at 63 and 99 still up for grabs, the Yankees are betting big on opportunism, using their storied brand to lure hidden gems and build a new core of future stars.
