Perfect Game Scouting Information

30. New York Yankees | Kody Hoese, 3B, Tulane
The Yankees aren’t afraid to grab players they value and they’ll get the player who may have the best numbers in college this year. Hoese will likely be an above-average defender at third and teams are confident in the bat and the power that comes with it. In other words, Hoese sneaking into the first wouldn’t be a surprise at this point.
