Blake Rutherford was the Yankees first round pick and 18th
overall pick in the 2016 MLB First Year Players Draft. This much we know but
what a lot of us don’t know is what the kid did while at Chaminade High School
in California. High School stats are surprisingly hard to find, even for top
draft picks and prospects like Rutherford, so this is what we could find.
It’s easy to see why the Yankees were so high on this kid
despite being a tough sign and despite being a high school prospect. Rutherford
can flat out hit and he has the tools to stick in center field in the long term
making him a talent too special to pass up.
Now all the Yankees have to do is sign him.
