2012 BA's Yankees Top 10: Dante Bichette
6. Dante Bichette, 3b
Background: The son of the former all-star outfielder of the same name,
Dante Jr. is a baseball rat who became the Yankees' top 2011 draft pick
(51st overall). He signed quickly for $750,000 and adjusted on the fly
after a slow start to pro ball, lowering his hands and quickening his
swing. He earned top-prospect and MVP honors in the Gulf Coast League and
led his team to the championship.
Scouting Report: Like his father, Bichette combines righthanded power and
underrated athletic ability. He's an advanced hitter with good hand-eye
coordination, present strength and above-average bat speed. He doesn't
sell out for power, uses the whole field and has a mature two-strike
approach. While scouts considered Bichette a lock to move to the outfield
while he was an amateur, he impressed New York with his agility, arm
strength and aptitude at third base. He's an average runner. He should
have the makeup to handle the Big Apple.
The Future: Bichette's passion for the game and work ethic helped him make
a name for himself with his strong debut. He could move quickly, and if
J.R. Murphy remains a catcher, the Yankees don't have another third-base
prospect ahead of him. Bichette is ready to advance to low Class A in
2012.
