The Yankees have signed sandwich round pick 3B Dante Bichette Jr. to a $750,000 contract.
Bichette had arguably the best power of any prep hitter in the draft, sporting a .640/.723/1.198 batting line in his senior season at Orangewood Christian High School in Florida. He played shortstop in high school but projects as a third baseman or possibly an outfielder as a pro. Bichette’s father, Dante Sr., played 14 major league seasons and made four All-Star teams while with the Rockies.
