Yankees first pick 2011
The New York Yankees first pick in the 2011 MLB Draft resulted in a young third baseman by the name of Dante Bichette Jr. from Orangewood Christian in Florida.
I was lucky enough to spend a little time talking with this young prospect this past week. I started by wacthing his pre-game workout and as expected it was easy to see the time this young man has already spent preparing for his journey into the world of Major League Baseball. He moves with a grace and speed of a mature ball player with his execution of all the fundamentals of the game. After his workout he came over to sign a couple of bats for me and we talked about his game and a bit about life and this young man has his priority’s in order and you can see the family has done their job as good parents, as good kids come from good parents.
Dante hopes to play in the Florida State League with the Tampa Yankees in 2012 keeping him close to home. Although with his talent and good looks and being very well spoken he could move up quick and within the next three to five years the Yankees will need a third baseman and a shortstop so keep your eye on young Dante Bichette Jr.
