Yankees MLB Draft 2018: Yankees select OF Ryder Green from Karns High School with the 97th pick of the third round

By -

The Yankees continued their trend of drafting position players on day two of the 2018 draft as they selected an outfielder named Ryder Green from Karns High School in Tennesse. Green is committed to Vanderbilt University and was rated as the 82nd best draft prospect according to MLB.com

Green was born on May 5, 2000 and stands at 6’2”, 205 pounds. He is known for his power, which is one of the best among all high school prospects. He projects as a corner outfielder, but played center in high school, which shows his athleticism. He has a plus throwing-arm and has been clocked in the low 90’s on the mound with a solid curveball.

Green is the second high school player taken by the Yanks in the draft’s first three rounds and is another example of how the Yankees are dedicated to beefing up their position player depth in the organization.

Considering all indications from ownership point to the Yankees being done for the most part as far as additions are concerned, I felt as if now would be a prompt time to make some early predictions about the 2016 season. As I look at the Yankees team as currently comprised, I'm feeling the same sense of uncertainty as I did at this point last season. A successful 2016 season is contingent on production from players who are either old, injury prone, or in some cases, a combination of both. Normally, this would seem to be a recipe for disaster, however I'm going to try the optimistic route. Below, are what I view as the five keys to a successful 2016. In my view, each of the five are equally important. Unfortunately, the Yankees need a lot to go right in order for them to return to the postseason. Having one posts
