TGP Prospects Month Top 29 Prospect List - #26


The New York Yankees had two first round picks in the 2015 MLB First Year Players Draft including James Kaprielian and Kyle Holder but it may be the team's 13th round pick that gives them the most value going forward. The Yankees took a relative unknown in Trey Amburgey in the 13th round out of St. Petersburg College and he responded by making his way all the way to Staten Island in his first professional season with one of the best batting lines in the organization.

The reason Amburgey is not higher is because there is no possible way he can sustain a batting average over .400 and there is no way he can get a base hit in an average of 20 games a month. If he keeps up at half the pace he did last season though I can see him moving up this list quite a bit in the 2017 version of Prospects Month on the blog.

26. Trey Amburgey
27. Ben Gamel
28. Austin DeCarr
29. Thairo Estrada
30. James Pazos
