What the hell's going on down there on the Yankee farm? First Deivi Garcia... now a new guy is a phenom too?
His name is Clarke Schmidt... and he has mad potential to be great for the New York Yankees one day!
NJ.com writes:
"The Yankees refused to trade former first-round pick Clarke Schmidt in a deal that would have also sent Clint Frazier and a pair of other prospects to the Diamondbacks in exchange for lefty Robbie Ray before the deadline....
Tampa manager Aaron Tolbert explained why the Yankees believe Schmidt, a righty starter, could be in their rotation in the near future following his promotion to Double-A on Thursday. 'Clean delivery,' Holbert, who played in 17 professional seasons, said on the phone Friday.
'Ability to command multiple pitches. I see him sticking in the starter’s role.' MLB Pipeline ranks the 23-year-old Schmidt as the Yankees’ No. 5 overall prospect."
Just when you thought the Yanks were tapped out of talent on the farm... this comes out. Very exciting to see all parts moving with the Yankees!
