Summary
The Yankees are eyeing high school phenom Cole Prosek, a left-handed slugger from Mississippi, who could be selected at 35th overall despite draft penalties. Prosek, committed to Ole Miss, exploded in his senior year with a .500+ batting average, tons of RBIs, and home runs — earning Player of the Year and MVP honors. Scouts rave about his elite hitting potential, calling him a safe offensive weapon, even if he’s not a physical marvel. Defense concerns — slow speed, limited range — point to third base as his long-term home. Still, analysts see him as a future 25-homer threat. At 19 on draft day, he’s a bit older than typical first-round picks — but the Yankees, embracing a new high school draft strategy, seem ready to take a chance on his bat. If they pull the trigger, they’re betting on power and patience over polish. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
