First TTM success from 2018 Yankees Draft Pick

I have a couple of TTM requests out to members of the Yankees 2018 Draft Class. Zippy Zappy has already been dominating in this area, but I'm finally on the board:
Yankees 2018 3rd round pick Ryder Green signed the card I sent to the Gulf Coast Yankees rookie ball squad. The Yanks went catchers in round 1 and 2, and then snagged high schooler Green in the third round. He was committed to Vanderbilt, but luckily NY was able to convince him to turn pro by offering him a cool mil. I'd turn pro too.

In this card, he's shown as a pitcher, where he certainly made his mark growing up. However, the Yankees drafted him as a power hitting outfielder, something they could certainly use with the graduation of several top offensive prospects to the Bigs over the last few seasons.

He's already hit his first pro homer, and is showing a good eye at the plate with a .400 OBP through his first 80 PAs. I definitely look forward to watching Green grow over these next few seasons.

Thanks, Mr. Green!
