We’re beginning our Top 10 coverage of each team, listing out each team by division. We are considering defense in these lists, so it’s not just purely plate production. The AL East is stacked, led by the Tampa Bay Rays who have an embarrassment of riches.
2018 New York Yankees Instructional League Roster and Schedule
Pitchers: (20)
To call the Yankees minor league pitching staff loaded is an understatement. We could write 10,000 words just on their teenage pitchers. Five of which have average FB velocities of 98+ mph. Roansy Contreras and Luis Gil were superb in short-season ball. Luis Medina has the best raw stuff of any pitcher in the minors. 19-year old Deivi Garcia ascended all the way to AA in his first taste of full-season ball.
RHP: Albert Abreu, Pedro Barrios, Jhony Brito, Roansy Contreras, Derek Craft, Pedro Espinola, Deivi Garcia, Luis Gil, Yoendrys Gomez, Rodney Hutchinson, Nolan Martinez, Luis Medina, Anderson Munoz, Tanner Myatt, Nick Nelson, Glenn Otto, Juan Then, Alexander Vizcaino, and Miguel Yajure
LHP: Anderson Severino
