The Yankees have a farm system loaded with position players at the lower levels. They were expected to seek lefthanded pitching this spring, but Oklahoma prep righthander Ty Hensley was too attractive for them to pass on at No. 30.

Hensley has baseball bloodlines and has a fastball that has touched 97, helping him rank No. 23 on the BA 500. He also has a plus curveball that might be a better pitch than his fastball. He'll need some time to add some polish and improve his command but he has more than just big stuff. He's bilingual (he speaks Spanish) and scouts like his work ethic and makeup.
