The Yankees took Clarke Schmidt in the first round in 2017 after he'd already gone down with Tommy John surgery -- which occurred after South Carolina brought him back too quickly from an injury -- based on his competitiveness and potential for two or possibly three above-average pitches. He barely pitched in 2018 even after his rehab due to an oblique injury but has been healthy and very effective this year, including a strong outing last Wednesday afternoon against New Hampshire that showed why the Yankees were willing to take on that risk.
