Yankees pick George Lombard Jr., Mets take Colin Houck in 2023 MLB Draft

The Yankees and Mets selected highly regarded high school shortstops with their top picks in the 2023 MLB Draft, continuing a recent emphasis on the position by both teams. George Lombard Jr. went 26th overall to the Yankees on Sunday after a standout career at the Miami-area Gulliver Preparatory School. Colin Houck of Georgia’s Parkview High School then went to the Mets with the 32nd pick. The Mets later used the 56th pick on Brandon Sproat, a hard-throwing right-handed pitcher from the University of Florida, whom they originally drafted last year but failed to sign. In Lombard, the Yankees get a 6-foot-3, 190-pound talent with major league lineage.
