Jorge Mateo may still be the best shortstop on the Yankees, major leagues and minor leagues included, despite still being in the lower levels of the Yankees system. Mateo defends well, takes his walks, runs the bases well, steals bases and has what seems to be a great general baseball IQ. One thing that was not mentioned was the hitting aspect of his game, something he still needs to work on if he wants to be more than a speedy Brendan Ryan in his career.
You can see what I mean with the Ryan comparisons by looking
at this stat line:
Year | Lev | G | PA | R | H | 2B | 3B | HR | RBI | SB | BB | SO | ||||

2015 | A | 42 | 179 | 19 | 42 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 16 | 34 | 13 | 38 | .261 | .314 | .366 | .681 |
