1st Round Pick: Slade Heathcott
The Yankees signed their 27th pick overall for $2.2MM, that's about $1.9MM over the recommended amount. Heathcott will play as an outfielder in proball and is a legitimate 5-tool player.
2nd Round Pick: JR Murphy
Murphy joins in a long line of Yankees catching prospects (J. Montero, F. Cervelli, G. Sanchez, A. Romine) after signing for probably 7 figures. Murhpy was an outfielder but converted to catcher due to athleticism.
5th Round Pick: Caleb Cotham
The Yankees signed the righty out of Vanderbilt for $675,000. That's just $5,000 short of the most in the 5th round and 4 times the recommended amount. Cotham was bothered by a sore knee in the Spring, but didn't allow an earned run in the Cape Cod league and threw 91-94 with his fastball.
