New York Yankees 2020 Top 50 Prospects(tier2，排名 6-9)
By Paul Woodin, January 28, 2020
Tier 2
6. Kevin Alcantara, OF
Age: 17
2019 Highest Level: DSL Yankees
2019 Stats: 41 G, 174 PA, .255/.305/.360/.665, 1 HR, 19 RBI, 5 SB
Alcantara just oozes raw tools and raw upside. He is a physical specimen at 6
’6” 190 and still has time to grow being only 17 years old. He has
potential for plus tools across the board once he fills out and adds more
muscle. His size gives him great leverage and naturally adds length to his
stroke, which he has displayed the ability to make consistent. A right-handed
hitter with a ton of bat speed and strength, he should stay in center field
with his plus speed and quality defense. Alcantara has plenty of arm to play
anywhere in the OF. He is years away from Yankee Stadium but has one of the
highest ceilings in the organizations. ETA: 2023
6. Kevin Alcantara，右打外野手，17岁
曾在2019达到的最高层级：多明尼加夏季联盟
2019成绩：41场出赛，174打席，打击三围.255/.305/.360，一支全垒打，五次盗垒。
17岁的Alcantara无法隐藏他夸张的天赋，他的身形完美（六呎六吋190磅，约19
8公分86
公斤），而且还在成长中。如果他能适度增加体重以及肌肉，他有机会长出多个评价为
plus的tool。Alcantara的体型让他在打击时有良好的施力点，使他拥有很棒的挥棒速度
跟力量。
Alcantara有plus的跑速和强壮的臂力，三个外野位置的防守工作他应该都能胜
任
。他离MLB还有好几年，但他的天花板可能是洋基农场里最高的。
目前评价：跟17岁的小朋友相比，天赋与发展性都超高的新秀。但他还未在职业小联盟赛
场上出赛过，所以无法得知他是否能把天赋转换成场上表现。
未来期待：最好的状况是五拍子明星中外野手。
预估升上MLB年度：2023
7. Luis Medina, RHP
Age: 20
2019 Highest Level: A+ Tampa
2019 Stats: 22 G, 22 GS, 103.2 IP, 1-8, 127 K, 5.47 ERA, 1.57 WHIP
Medina was signed by the Yankees as an international free agent out of the
Dominican Republic for $280,000 in 2015. His fastball sits in the mid-90s,
sometimes hitting triple digits. He has two secondary pitches, a curveball
and changeup. Both are above-average right now but have the potential to
become plus pitches in the future. He is still young and extremely raw. He
does lack the ability to locate his pitches too often. He threw 27 wild
pitches in 2019. If he can get his location under control at a reasonable
rate he has the potential to be an ace and will move up even further in my
rankings. In my opinion he has the most upside of any Yankees pitching
prospect. ETA: Late 2022
7. Luis Medina，右投手，20岁
曾在2019达到的最高层级：A+
2019成绩：22场先发，主投103.2局，108个三振，ERA 5.47/WHIP 1.57
2015年洋基以28万美金签下Medina，这位多明尼加出身的20岁投手可以稳定投出
mid-90s的速球，有时可以飙到100mph以上；他的曲球与变速球现在被评为平均之上，未
来都有机会变成plus的球种。
即使Medina有这么好的stuff，可是控球还不成气候，去年他丢出了27个暴投…
他?
不能被称为是pitcher，而是完成度超低的thrower。Medina才20岁，如果他能改善控球能
力有变成ace的潜力。我认为他的天花板是洋基所有投手新秀里最高的。
补充：我参考去年官网对于Medina的评价，多数球探认为他的投球机制跟姿势没有太大问
题，大概是心理问题导致他的控球能力不佳。
目前评价：天赋极高，但因为控球很差所以还没兑现。天花板超高但风险更高的投手。
未来期待：Medina的上下限很高。如果控球能够进步，搭配他的极品stuff能成为王牌投
手。但他如果还是像现在这样经常性地找不到好球带，可能连一个合格的后援都不是。
预估升上MLB年度：2022季末
8. Antonio Cabello, OF
Age: 18
2019 Highest Level: Rookie Pulaski
2019 Stats: 56 G, 251 PA, .211/.280/.330/.610, 3 HR, 19 RBI, 5 SB
Signed originally as a catcher in 2017, I was impressed with his athleticism
when he moved to CF. After an encouraging 2018 he scuffled as an 18 year old
in the APPY league with Pulaski in 2019. Cabello stood out in the Gulf Coast
League in 2018, where he showed plus potential as a hitter with great bat
speed. In addition, he possesses plus running and throwing ability. Even
though he struggled in the APPY League this past season, his raw tools are
still there, and league managers praise his approach to the game. He does
sometimes tend to expand the strike zone and chase balls. Cabello has the
tool set to become an impact everyday player, but he may have physically
maxed out as well. The power/speed combo is real here. ETA: 2023
8. Antonio Cabello，右打外野手，19岁
曾在2019达到的最高层级：新人联盟
2019成绩：56场出赛，251个打席，打击三围：.211/.280/.330，3支全垒打，五次盗垒
Cabello在2017年时以捕手的身分被洋基签下，但我对于他转为中外野手后展现
的运动能力感到惊艳。2018年Cabello打出令人惊奇的表现，在打击方面展现惊人的潜力
，尤其是很快的挥棒速度。虽然去年在新人联盟却有点撞墙，但他的raw tool还是存在。
Cabello在跑速跟臂力方面的天分很高，但他才转外野手两年，守备还需要再磨
练
。他偶尔会太过急躁，过度扩大自己的好球带去追打坏球。他有成为先发球员的潜力。
Cabello的体格可能已经发展完成，增加raw power的机会不高，但他现在的力量+速度搭
配是真货。
目前评价：有良好运动能力及打击天赋的中外野手，但各方面都还要再进步。19岁的他预
期能从2019年的失望赛季反弹。
未来期待：平均的大联盟先发中外野手。
预估升上MLB年度：2023
9. Miguel Yajure, RHP
Age: 21
2019 Highest Level: AA Trenton
2019 Stats: 24 G, 20 GS, 138.2 IP, 9-6, 133 K, 2.14 ERA, 1.07 WHIP
Yajure, who signed for $30,000 out of Venezuela, is one of the more polished
young arms in the system and his stuff has ticked up since he came back from
the Tommy John surgery that cost him the entire 2017 season. Yajure got
stronger during the grueling rehab process after having his elbow
reconstructed, and he now operates at 92-95 mph with his fastball. His best
pitch is a solid to plus changeup that keeps left-handers honest. He has
added a cutter this year that has similar potential but it is a work in
progress. He also has feel for spinning a curveball that should be at least
an average offering. While Yajure isn’t overpowering, he has a long history
of throwing strikes and commands his pitches well. He pounds the bottom of
the strike zone and generates a lot of soft ground ball contact. He’s on the
path to becoming a mid-rotation starter. ETA: 2021
9. Miguel Yajure，右投手，21岁
曾在2019达到的最高层级：2A
2019成绩：24场出赛（20场先发），主投138.2局，133个三振，ERA2.14/WHIP1.07
Yajure在2015年以三万美金的价码与洋基签约，这位委内瑞拉出身的21岁投手是
洋基农场里表现最好的投手之一。Yajure在2017年动了TJ手术错过许多发展时间，但他的
stuff已随着复健渐渐恢复，目前他的速球大约在92-95 mph之间。介于平均之上与plus之
间的变速球是他最好的球种，常常让左打者失去平衡。他的曲球与新学会的卡特球有成为
平均球种的潜力，但都还没有很稳定。
虽然Yajure的stuff没办法制造很多挥空，但他都有办法把球控进好球带而且以
好
的command著称。他总是能把球控制在好球带下缘并制造很多软弱击球。正朝着中段先发
的
目标迈进。
目前评价：stuff普通但有良好command的投手，也已经在2A投出成绩，上大联盟的日子不
远了。
未来期待：天花板是中段先发，如果没有大伤最差也能成为堪用的第五号先发。
预估升上MLB年度：2021
