Here are the Yankees' 21 retired numbers | Who belongs and who doesn't? Andy Pettitte, Jorge Posada, Bernie Williams, more

by Felix Pantaleón

On Saturday, August 18, 2018 (8/18/18) the New York Yankees will honor their 1998 World Series team with a 20th anniversary celebration at Yankee Stadium. That team was led by five homegrown players, all of whom have had their number retired. Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera and the “Core Four” are deservedly remembered with a plaque in Monument Park, but do they all merit a retired number? And what Yankee Hall-of-Fame players are missing?

PROSPECT SPOTLIGHT

Tyler Nunez, a C from Lake Nona HS, is a 6'2 190lb athletic catcher who provides strength with the bat and glove. During BP, Tyler stuck with a middle of the field approach while staying on a line. He impacted the ball well with his compact and direct path, T90EV. He showed off his real athleticism behind the plate by posting a 2.04 pop time while staying around the bag on every throw. He is a good looking athletic uncommitted catcher to keep an eye on.
