Yankees 2019 Draft Preview: Farm system strengths
An abundance of right-handed pitchers stands out as the Yankees’ primary strength in the minors. When more than two-thirds of the New York Yankees’ top 30 prospects are right-handed pitchers, per MLB Pipeline, it’s not hard to discern exactly where the system’s strength lies.

Checking in on a few Yankees pitching prospects
Chance Adams, Domingo Acevedo, and Albert Abreu needed to have strong 2019 seasons. Here’s how they’re doing so far.
