Mike Yastrzemski
Michael Andrew Yastrzemski (/jəˈstrɛmski/ yə-STREM-skee; born August 23, 1990), nicknamed "Yaz", is an American professional baseball outfielder for the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball (MLB). He has previously played in MLB for the San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals. Yastrzemski played college baseball for the Vanderbilt Commodores, and was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 14th round of the 2013 MLB draft. He made his MLB debut in 2019 with the Giants. He is the grandson of Baseball Hall of Famer Carl Yastrzemski.
Yastrzemski attended St. John's Preparatory School in Danvers, Massachusetts. He played for the school's baseball team, and was named team captain in his senior year. He committed to attend Vanderbilt University, on a college baseball scholarship. Seen as a potential early-round selection in the 2009 Major League Baseball (MLB) draft, Yastrzemski indicated that he would attend college unless chosen in the first round. The Boston Red Sox selected him in the 36th round (1,098th overall), and he did not sign with the team, instead enrolling at Vanderbilt to play for the Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team.
Yastrzemski became a starter for the Commodores in the middle of his freshman year. In 2010 and 2011, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Cotuit Kettleers of the Cape Cod Baseball League. After his junior year, the Seattle Mariners selected him in the 30th round (911th overall) of the 2012 MLB draft. The Mariners offered Yastrzemski a $300,000 signing bonus, well above the suggested bonus for a player chosen in that round. Yastrzemski chose not to sign, and returned to Vanderbilt for his senior year. As a senior, Yastrzemski was named All-Southeastern Conference.
The Baltimore Orioles selected Yastrzemski in the 14th round (429th overall) of the 2013 Major League Baseball draft, and he signed. After signing, Yastrzemski began his professional career with the Aberdeen IronBirds of the Low-A New York–Penn League (NY-P), where he had a .273 batting average, three home runs, and 25 runs batted in (RBI). He was an NY-P mid-season All Star, and appeared in the NY-P all-star game.
Yastrzemski began the 2014 season with the Delmarva Shorebirds of the Single-A South Atlantic League (SAL), where he led the league with 10 triples and batted .306/.365/.554 (5th in the league) with 10 home runs and 44 RBI. He was an SAL mid-season All Star, and appeared in the SAL all-star game. After the all-star game, Yastrzemski was promoted to the Frederick Keys of the High-A Carolina League, where he batted .312 in 93 at-bats. He was then promoted again, to the Bowie Baysox of the Double-A Eastern League. Between Frederick and Bowie, Yastrzemski combined to bat .288 with 14 home runs, 18 stolen bases in 24 attempts, and 18 triples, which led all of Minor League Baseball. He was an MiLB Orioles organization All-Star.
Yastrzemski spent the 2015 season with Bowie, where he batted .246 with six home runs and 59 RBI. He was a 2015 Eastern League All-Star. Yastrzemski spent 2016 with both Bowie and the Norfolk Tides of the Triple-A International League, where he posted combined statistics of a .234 batting average, with 13 home runs, and 59 RBI.
Yastrzemski underwent surgery after the 2016 season and was not healthy for the beginning of the 2017 season. During the 2017 season, he was with the Tides for 81 games between May and September, except for several weeks in June and July when he played 20 games with the Baysox. He returned to Norfolk in 2018. He was an MiLB Orioles organization All-Star.
The Orioles invited Yastrzemski to spring training as a non-roster player in 2019.
