Here are all of the Yankees' picks from the 2026 MLB Draft...

DAY 1

First round, pick No. 35: LHP Hunter Dietz

The Arkansas southpaw made 20 appearances in three seasons with the Razorbacks but dealt with some injuries before undergoing elbow surgery in 2024.

Dietz bounced back to make 16 starts in 2026, pitching to a 3.57 ERA and 1.191 WHIP over 85.2 innings, allowing 40 runs (34 earned) on 71 hits and 31 walks with 131 strikeouts. His 13.8 strikeouts per nine innings had him in the Top 10 in all of collegiate baseball.

Second round, pick No. 63: LHP Sean Duncan

The 6-foot-3 southpaw was drafted by the Yankees after spending time in Ferry Fox (BC) up in Canada. Duncan was highly-touted before suffering an elbow injury that would require Tommy John surgery in 2025. He pitched in the Futures Showcase, where his heater sat at 93 mph but touched 95.

Duncan has committed to Vanderbilt.

MLB.com: Not only does Duncan have a true three-pitch mix (it's not too difficult to dream about three above-average-to-plus offerings in the future), he’s shown a propensity for strike-throwing and understanding how to mix all of his pitches.

Third round, pick No. 99: C Brendan Brock
