Greedy Pinstripes Top 28 Prospects List: #28

Prospects Month is here ladies and gentleman and what would a Prospects Month be without a top prospects list? Some people do a Top 10, Top 25, Top 50 or even a Top 100 but there are 28 days in the month of February so we do our Top 28. One of these years we will have to do a Top 29, I hope I am up to the challenge. Anyway without further delay let's get to the list.

Whenever applicable I will leave an excerpt about the player from Kylie McDaniel's evaluation of the Yankees farm system along with the ranking SEEN HERE. The Greedy Pinstripes 28th best prospect is Johnny Barbato!

Johnny Barbato, RHP Video: Barbato was recently acquired from the Padres for Shawn Kelley. He came up as a starter, but has recently been shifted to relief as his demeanor, delivery and command all fit better in short stints. Barbato will sit 93-95, hitting 97 mph in short stints and his plus curveball plays even better with the added velocity.  He’ll mix in an inconsistent and firm, but at times average changeup and should be able to command his stuff enough to profile in the 8th inning. Now that he’s a bullpen only pitcher, Barbato has a chance to be in the big leagues in the second half of 2015, but some clubs are a little worried about his elbow, after he missed about half of last season with a strained UCL that didn’t require surgery.
