Jordan Yost - Prospect Profile

MLB.com - July 1st: "A left-handed hitter, Yost has always had a very good feel to hit, with elite contact skills. He has a simple swing and knows the strike zone really well, giving confidence he’ll continue to make sound swing decisions and put the ball in play."

Keith Law - The Athletic - July 1st: "Yost is an extreme contact-hitting shortstop who doesn’t whiff or chase, hitting for very little power in the process. His swing is short and he doesn’t stride or even lift his lead foot at all, just flinching it quickly before swinging, with a whiff rate on the circuit last year of just 7 percent (in a smaller sample of pitches than most players of his caliber had)."

Baseball America - June 25th: "Yost is a plus runner who has the tools to stick at a number of up-the-middle defensive positions. He has solid hands and average, accurate arm strength that should give him every opportunity to stick at shortstop and be a good defender there—though some scouts think he might eventually be a better fit for second base or center field where his range might play better."

Tyler Jennings - Just Baseball - March 24th: "It’s a profile that leans heavily into the hit-first and athletic fluidity spaces. At 6’0, 170 pounds, he’s not the biggest specimen on the planet, but he’s got wiry strength and notable projection to his frame."
