Signed as an 18-year-old in May 2014, Vidal spent 2015 at Rookie-level Pulaski and showed an impressive array of average or better skills. In the mold of former Yankees outfielder Ramon Flores, Vidal is a center fielder whose defensive chops profile better in a corner. He's got an excellent knowledge of the strike zone and bat-to-ball skills with a little bit of power too. The Yankees worked with Vidal in 2015 to help him improve his speed and shift him away from a pull-happy approach. He's got plenty of arm to play in the corner, but the power has to come on a more consistent basis. He also earns plaudits for his makeup and competitive nature. He led the Appalachian League in runs (49) while ranking third in hits (74) and sixth in home runs (nine) while spending the whole year in the leadoff spot. Vidal probably will head to either short-season Staten Island or low Class A Charleston in 2016.
