Kyle Holder was selected by Philadelphia with the 11th overall pick in major leagueโs rule 5 draft in December and was dealt to the Reds in January for cash considerations.
Holder put up .219/.359/.250 in 39 plate appearances this spring, nothing to be too particularly impressed with. But with a little work, Kyle could be the potential answer to Yankees fans’ Tyler Wade woes considering heโs a short stop by trade.
Holder has been assigned to the Yankees alternate site for now.
