Yanks Day 2 Draft ‘25 Picks
Round 4 (Pick 134): Pico Kohn
Round 7 (Pick 224): Richie Bonomolo Jr.
Round 8 (Pick 254): Mac Heuer
Round 10 (Pick 314): Connor McGinnis
Round 13 (Pick 404): Kyle West
Pico Kohn, SP, Mississippi State
Pico Kohn is from Verbena, Alabama. As a senior at Chilton County School, the southpaw went 9-2 with a 1.17 ERA and was named the Gatorade Alabama Player of the Year in 2020. As a freshman at Mississippi State, Kohn mostly came out of the bullpen, throwing 36.2 innings in 21 appearances while striking out just about a batter an inning. He missed his entire ‘23 season as a sophomore with Tommy John. As a junior in ‘24, Kohn rebounded to make 8 starts, posting a 3.38 ERA with 35 Ks in 29.1 innings pitched. This past season, as a senior, he went 5-4 with a 4.73 ERA, but struck out 114 batters in 80 innings pitched. Kohn throws a mid-to-low 90s fastball that gives hitters trouble thanks to his low three-quarters arm angle. The lefty also has a sweeping slider and changeup as his secondary pitches. Although he may have been eligible to get drafted after ‘24, Kohn wanted to return for his senior season. His Head Coach, Chris Lemois, said, “He came back for a reason. He really wanted to get better. I think he's the heaviest he's been in his career. I think he's mechanically the strongest he's been in his career. So I'm excited for him.” A southpaw with a deceptive arm angle, solid 4th Round pick.
Richie Bonomolo Jr., OF, Alabama
Richie Bonomolo Jr. was born in Nyack, New York. He played high school baseball at Cardinal Hayes HS in The Bronx. His first stop in college was the JUCO route at Wabash Valley in Illinois. In his two seasons at Wabash Valley, RBJ was named a JUCO All-American as he hit well over .430 while stealing over 100 bags. Last season, Bonomolo transferred to Alabama, where he hit .311 with a .416 OBP, 8 homers, 52 RBIs, and 16 stolen bases. He reached base in 53 of 59 games with the Tide and was named to the SEC All-Tournament Team. With excellent range to play Centerfield, RBJ is a speed and sneaky pop prospect, along with being a local hometown kid. He was quoted as saying, “I know what my job is. I want to get on base every at-bat… It feels good, [playing] unselfish baseball.” With that mindset, RBJ projects as a leadoff hitter and plus-CF defender type.
Mac Heuer is from Greensboro, Georgia. Homeschooled on a farm, Mac Heuer was named the Grand Champion Ewe at Georgia Nationals, meaning he was awarded for breeding the top female sheep in the state. Heuer was drafted in the 16th Round by the Cleveland Guardians in ‘23, but decided to attend Texas Tech, where he fittingly majored in Animal Science. As a freshman in ‘24, Mac Heuer made 10 starts, throwing 47 innings with 46 Ks. Even though his ERA was high (5.94), Heuer was invited to play in the Cape Cod League over the summer of ‘24, where he tossed 6.2 innings while allowing just 2 runs against top collegiate prospects around the nation. As a sophomore last season, Mac Heuer made 14 starts for the Red Raiders. While he had struggled at times with a 2-4 record and 6.28 ERA, Heurer has flashed potential due to his 6’5” size on the mound. With a fastball that has reached 97 mph, Heuer may have the potential to be a quality relief pitcher. His Texas Tech catcher, Dylan Maxcey, said, “When he has fastball command, it’s usually pretty easy to catch him.” A bit of a project that makes sense in the 8th Round, the Yankees must believe they can fix his fastball command.
Connor McGinnis, 2B, Houston
Connor McGinnis is from Frisco, Texas. He began his collegiate career at Grayson College in ‘22, but redshirted after not playing. He then missed his entire ‘23 season due to injury and decided to transfer to Blinn College. In his lone season in JUCO, McGinnis hit .399 with a .515 OBP in 63 games. After winning the JUCO World Series in ‘24 and being named the Region XIV Player of the Year, McGinnis decided to transfer to Houston to be a bit closer to home. Before playing D1 Baseball, Connor McGinnis joined the Valley League in the summer of ‘24, posting a .343 batting average in 18 games. This past season with the Cougars, McGinnis missed half the season with an injury, but still led Houston in doubles (14), batting average (.343), slugging (.610), and OBP (.450). Although McGinnis may only have about a season and a half worth of production due to injury, the lefty batter has hit everywhere he’s played. With experience in 2B, SS, and RF, McGinnis should have the ability to be a utility fielder. Given his smaller sample size, he could be a nice find in the 10th Round.
Kyle West, OF, West Virginia
Kyle West is from Hedgesville, West Virginia. He began his collegiate career in Division II Baseball at the University of Charleston. In his two seasons starring with the Golden Eagles, West hit .374 with 30 home runs, 102 RBIs, and 45 stolen bases in 100 games. During the summer of ‘23, Kyle West competed in the Northwoods League while batting .323 with 7 more dingers in 32 games. The following fall, he transferred to play for his home state at West Virginia University. During his junior season in ‘24, West was named an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention despite his batting average dipping to .260 with the jump in competition. West still showed pop in his bat with 10 doubles and 14 homers. Last season as a senior, Kyle West was named All-Big 12 2nd Team as he batted .339 with 11 home runs and 38 RBIs. He walked (46) more than he struck out (41) while hitting his 50th career collegiate home run. When asked about what the 50 meant to him, West said, “It means a lot. I didn’t have the easiest journey to get here. Looking back at all 50, I had labrum surgery and almost missed my sophomore year because of it. Just a lot of growth over those 50 home runs. Each one is different, and each one means a little something to me.” At 6’4” with some solid speed and good pop in his bat, Kyle West may be a steal in the 13th Round.
Building A Board
Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana
Elijah Sarratt is from Stafford, Virginia. He went to St. Frances Academy, where he played hoops, wide receiver, defensive back, and was the team’s returner. Despite doing a bit of everything, Sarratt was initially lightly recruited. He began his collegiate career at Saint Francis in Pennsylvania, helping them reach the FCS Playoffs. His ‘22 season at St. Francis included FCS Freshman All-American recognition as he caught 40 passes for 672 yards and 13 TDs. Sarratt hit the transfer portal in ‘23, moving on to James Madison. As a sophomore at JMU, Sarratt caught 82 passes for 1,199 yards and 8 TDs. He earned 1st Team All-Sun Belt recognition and was named JMU’s Dean Ehlers Team MVP. When JMU Head Coach Curt Cignetti jumped to Indiana in ‘24, Sarratt joined his coach. Elijah Sarratt had 53 catches for 957 yards and 8 scores as a junior with the Hoosiers. This tabbed him on the 2nd Team All-Big Ten by the AP. At 6’2”, Sarratt has the ability to play both in the slot and out wide. A hard-nosed WR, he isn’t afraid to go over the middle to catch contested passes, but he can also win 50/50 jump balls outside. Elijah Sarratt enters the ‘25 season as one of the most underrated pass catchers in the nation.
LT Overton, Edge, Alabama
Lebbeus “LT” Overton is from College Station, Texas. A unanimous 5-star recruit out of Milton High School, Overton reclassified and graduated a year early to join the ‘22 recruiting class. He also decided to play College Football near home by attending Texas A&M. As a true freshman Aggie, Overton made 3 starts while recording 31 tackles, 3 TFLs, and a sack. He returned as a sophomore in ‘23, where he again had trouble cracking the Aggies’ starting lineup, finishing with just 17 tackles off the bench. Overton decided to transfer to ‘Bama in ‘24. As a junior with his new team, the edge rusher had his best season as he led the Tide in QB Hits with 9, recorded 3 sacks, and had 42 stops. Nicknamed “LT” from his first two initials of Lebbeus Thomas, the former 5-star recruit is still a year younger than most seniors in the nation and is ready to have a big year. When asked about his expected sack production in ‘25, Overton responded, “Double digits. Anything over double digits for real. That's my goal…I felt like I've proven a lot last year, but I ain't show enough. My mindset this year is making sure I go out and prove to everybody what I can really do."
Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington
Jonah Coleman is from Stockton, California. He attended Lincoln High School in Stockton, finishing with 3,319 rushing yards and 58 TDs in 31 varsity games. A 3-star recruit, Coleman picked to play for the Arizona Wildcats. As a freshman in ‘22, Coleman saw action in 12 games, but made just 2 starts as he finished his season with 372 rushing yards and 4 TDs on 75 carries. As a sophomore in ‘23, Coleman took over the starting role for the Wildcats and was named an All-Pac 12 Honorable Mention. He finished his final season at Arizona with 1,154 total yards and 6 TDs. In the spring of ‘24, Jonah Coleman decided to transfer to Washington. As the Huskies’ starting RB, Coleman finished with a career-high 1,053 rushing yards and 10 scores. He also chipped in 23 catches for 127 yards. Named 3rd Team All-Big Ten in ‘24, Coleman has excellent big-play ability and has maintained a healthy 5.8 yards per carry throughout his collegiate career.
Connor Lew, C, Auburn
Connor Lew is from Kennesaw, Georgia. He attended Kennesaw Mountain High, where he was an all-state offensive lineman and wrestler while maintaining a 4.0 GPA for all 4 years. As a freshman at Auburn in ‘23, Lew took over the starting role at center when Avery Jones was injured in Week 8. The true freshman was able to hold his own in 6 starts down the stretch of the season, not allowing a single sack and only giving up 6 QB Hurries. Lew returned in Auburn’s lineup at center in ‘24, starting every game while allowing just 1 sack and 8 QB Hurries. PFF College rated his sophomore season above average in the run and pass blocking game. At 6’3” and 300 lbs. with hopefully 3 years worth of starting experience in the SEC, Connor Lew will be a sought-after prospect as a snapper at the next level.
Domonique Orange, DT, Iowa State
