Top Rankings

Organization Prospect Rankings

Fastball: 60. Slider: 55. Changeup: 50. Control: 50.
TRACK RECORD: Yean was a projectable 180-pound righthander when he signed with the Nationals for $100,000 in 2017. He’s grown quite a bit since then, bulking up to 230 pounds with a muscular, linebacker-like build. He made his U.S. debut in 2019 and reached short-season Auburn, but he did not get to pitch in 2020 with the cancellation of the minor league season. He picked up where he left off with an impressive turn at instructional league. The Pirates acquired him in December as the top prospect in the trade that sent Josh Bell to Washington.

SCOUTING REPORT: Yean is a big, powerful pitcher who is aggressive and still growing. He has an explosive fastball that sits in the mid 90s and touches 97 mph with late life. He throws both a four-seam fastball and a two-seamer to keep batters guessing which one they’ll see. Yean’s slider is a little slurvy at this point but gets swings and misses and shows above-average potential, especially if he is able to firm it up. His changeup is improving as well and could be an average pitch in time. Yean has a clean, three-quarters arm slot and a feel for making adjustments.

THE FUTURE: Yean is still learning the details of pitching rather than throwing, but there are reasons to be bullish on his upside. He should be ready for a full-season assignment at age 19 in 2021.
TRACK RECORD: Yean signed for $100,000 in 2017 and has since upped his fastball velocity to the 92-97 mph range. He earned a promotion to short-season Auburn for his final two starts of 2019. In his last outing, he threw just 73 pitches in a six-inning complete-game loss at Williamsport in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 28. He allowed two runs in that outing and two (one earned) in five innings in his other start with the Doubledays.

SCOUTING REPORT: Yean's a physical athlete with a power pitcher's body. He has a clean delivery, and the ball jumps out of his hand. He has electric stuff and one of the highest ceilings among pitchers in the system. He has increased the depth on his slider, which is a swing-and-miss pitch for him. Yean is also improving the feel of his changeup.

THE FUTURE: After closing the year with a strong showing in the instructional league, Yean has momentum going into 2020. He has only 90 career minor league innings, but he has quickly improved his stock.
