Yankees' top 20 prospects for 2022: Keith Law ranks New York's farm system - The Athletic

The Yankees shipped out a lot of talent in trades for Jameson Taillon, Anthony Rizzo, Joey Gallo, and Clay Holmes, between 10 and 14 prospects in total between January 2021 and today, so in that context, it’s impressive how much is still here, especially in young shortstops and high-ceiling arms with reliever risk. Of teams I ranked in the 20s, they probably have the most potential to see a system-wide leap in 2022, but those same prospects have a lot of variance in their expected outcomes.

To qualify for these rankings, players must still be eligible for the Rookie of the Year Award in 2022, which means they may not have more than 130 at-bats, 50 innings pitched or 45 days on an active roster heading into this season.

1. Anthony Volpe, SS (Top 100 ranking: No. 10)

Age: 21 | 5-11 | 180 poundsBats: Right | Throws: RightDrafted: No. 30 in 2019

Volpe was the Yanks’ first-round pick in 2019, off the same high school team as this past year’s No. 2 overall pick, Jack Leiter.
