Yankees prospects: Hudson Valley sees ‘a lot of Ben Rice’ in converted catcher
Here are scouting reports on position players of the Yankees' High A farm club, the Hudson Valley Renegades, from manager Aaron Bossi.
The High-A Hudson Valley Renegades of the Yankees have faced a challenging prospect prospect situation this year, losing three of their top players. Among the remaining position player prospects, Wilson Rodriguez stands out as a converted catcher who is expected to make a significant impact. At 24 years old, Eric Gencher, the left-handed hitter who moved to catcher, is also making steady progress under the coaching staff.
Manager Aaron Bosse believes that Gencher is a lot like former catcher Ben Rice, a player known for consistently getting his barrel to the ball and hitting for power.
