Season for Pico Kohn looks like it’s done.
Nah, it's not. He's supposedly on the shelf for 6 weeks. Hoping to see him in early July. (Fingers crossed)
The Yankees have done well with late-round or nondrafted free agent catchers in recent years. UDFA Rafael Flores helped them land closer David Bednar from Pittsburgh, and 12th-rounder Ben Rice mashed his way to the big leagues, even if he’s mostly moved out from behind the plate. Genther might be the next in line. Genther caught sparingly at Rhode Island, but New York saw enough to give him another shot at the position as a pro. In limited experience, he looks serviceable. His transfers, arm strength and footwork are fringy enough to keep him alive at the position, and his lefthanded bat has produced plenty of loud contact. The caveat here is that he will be 24 at midseason, so it might be a little while before he faces pitching advanced enough to challenge him.
Genther seems to be a good find, and could defintely be the next Rafael Flores for them. I'll be curious to see where he is come mid-season.
Any prospects in specific you’d like me to scout this week? Drop names below and will try to cover this week or next!
Made his org debut last night.
