Mitty infielder Nick Yorke went No. 17 overall to the Boston Red Sox in what caps off a spring that saw limited games but his stock soar.
Baseball America said of the pick: Some evaluators believe Yorke is the best pure hitter on the west coast, among high schoolers. A 6-foot, 195-pound shortstop committed to Arizona, Yorke has a long track record of performing as a high schooler, with a well-balanced swing that’s routinely on time
Turlock catcher Tyler Soderstrom, who has been in numerous mock drafts as a potential first rounder, got picked by the Oakland A’s at No. 26.
On this pick, Baseball America wrote: Will he stick at catcher? Maybe not. But with a bat this polished, teams will bet on the offensive potential and let the defensive position sort itself out.
