Draft Prospects
-
Winkel missed much of the spring with a broken hamate bone, so scouts couldn't quite get a feel for him leading up to the draft. His shining moments as a prospect so far came at the Area Code Games, where he made Baseball America's All-Area Code first team. In Long Beach, balls exploded off of Winkel's lefthanded bat. He played first base for the Northeast Yankees at that event, but he has smooth hands and decent actions in the infield, so it's possible that he could fit better at another position long term. He is committed to Connecticut and is not expected to sign professionally out of high school.
