veryone talks about the next Yankee superstar prospect — until the hype fades, the spotlight burns out, and another “future face of the franchise” disappears. The Yankees have talent, no doubt. But why does it so rarely turn into superstardom?

In this video, I break down why Yankees prospects NEVER become superstars, and why so many highly-touted names stall out before they ever make it in The Bronx.

We dive into:

• Why the media inflates prospects before they prove anything

• The pressure of New York and how it crushes development, not builds it

• Why getting sent down feels like failure instead of growth

• The Yankees’ organizational development issues nobody wants to admit

• Why other franchises are developing studs — while New York gets stuck in limbo

This isn’t a hit piece.

It’s a serious conversation about talent, pressure, and the Yankees’ system.

If New York wants homegrown stars, the development culture has to evolve — not just the roster.
