The New York Yankees have long seemed to possess an abundance of arms in their minor league system, but as highly touted as Baby Bomber hurlers have been, not all have panned out as expected. Case in point is southpaw Ken Waldichuk, who, after being shipped out by the Yankees, has bounced around the league and now landed with the division rival Tampa Bay Rays.
Now 28 years old, Waldichuk was a fifth-round pick by the Yankees back in 2019. After pitching sparingly following the draft, Waldichuk was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which cancelled the 2020 minor league season.
