The New York Yankees selected 20-year-old catcher Josh Breaux out of McLennan Community College in Texas in the second round of the 2018 MLB Draft on Monday, June 4, 2018.
The Yankees selected catcher Josh Breaux with their second-round pick in the 2018 MLB Draft on Monday night.
It was the 61st overall selection.
Breaux, 20, was the 71st best prospect in the draft, according to MLB.com. He’s 6-foot-1 and weighs 220 pounds. The Astros picked him in the 36th round of the 2017 draft.
With their first pick and No. 23 overall, the Yankees took catcher Anthony Seigler, an 18-year-old from Cartersville, Ga.
Seigler was also a switch pitcher in high school, throwing faster than 80 mph with either arm, but is expected to stick behind the plate as a professional.
The Yankees won’t pick again until the third round Tuesday.
