Yankees Draft Speedy Catcher Brendan Brock | New York Yankees News
Description
The Yankees snagged a rare athletic catch-and-steal threat in Brendan Brock, a speedy right-handed hitter from Oklahoma, with the 99th pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. Scouts rave about his 70-grade speed and strong arm, while his contact skills remain a question mark. Brock’s stock soared after a breakout junior college season and a championship-caliber year at Oklahoma, even turning down a pro deal to chase higher draft status. Now, the Yankees face a big decision: will he stick behind the plate or thrive in the outfield? Either way, Brock’s blend of power, speed, and arm gives them a high-upside, versatile weapon for the future.
