Yankees and Mets Draft High-Upside Pitchers
The New York Yankees focused on drafting high-upside pitchers in the 2024 MLB Draft, selecting Ben Hess and Bryce Cunningham. Hess, picked 26th overall, is a 6-foot-5, 255-pound right-hander from the University of Alabama known for his strikeout ability but struggles with control. Cunningham, chosen 53rd, is a similarly built right-hander from Vanderbilt, noted for his fastball and changeup but also has control issues. Meanwhile, the New York Mets picked Jonathan Santucci from Duke as the 46th overall selection. Santucci, a left-handed pitcher, excelled with a 3.31 ERA and 90 strikeouts in 58 innings despite an injury-plagued college career. Both teams are banking on these pitchers' potential to develop into valuable assets.
