The Yankees initiated the 2025 MLB Draft by selecting shortstop Dax Kilby from Georgia high school and Kaeden Kent from Texas A&M. Due to draft rules, they were limited to these two picks on Day 1, having lost other selections for signing Max Fried. The draft continues with additional rounds and signings, with updates planned for July. Players have a deadline of August 1st to finalize their signings, with specific conditions for college seniors. Early signings have occurred with multiple players already agreeing to contracts.
Sunday night marked the beginning of the 2025 MLB Draft, and the Yankees welcomed two new picks to their system: Georgia high school shortstop Dax Kilby in the first round and Texas A&M shortstop Kaeden Kent in the third.
Draft rules limited the Yanks to just those two players on Day 1, as they lost a second-rounder (and a supplemental fourth-rounder) for signing Max Fried this past offseason.
Players have until 5:00 PM ET on August 1st to sign unless they're college seniors who have already used up their years of eligibility.
Eight of the Yankees' 19 draft have signed already, another is on the verge of signing, and five more have seemingly signed as well.
