Which professional baseball team selected Slade Heathcott for their first pick in the First-Year Player Draft?
Bucking their recent Draft trend of leaning toward pitching, the Yankees selected high school outfielder Slade Heathcott with their first pick in Tuesday’s First-Year Player Draft, the 29th selection overall. Heathcott, 18, is the first position player the Yankees have taken in the first round since they selected C.J. Henry — the main chip in a subsequent trade with the Phillies for Bobby Abreu and Cory Lidle — 17th overall in 2005. The Yankees selected pitchers Gerrit Cole, Andrew Brackman and Ian Kennedy with their top picks the past three seasons.
