He’s a long term play, but the five category upside is hard to ignore.”

Ryan Garcia (July 25): “Dax Kilby L-on-L HR against Brandon Clarke, who is one of the better arms in Single-A. All he’s done in Single-A is hit, I think he could genuinely headline a massive package. People inside baseball last winter had him above Lombard.”
MLB Pipeline (July 17): “Welcome back, Dax Kilby! The #Yankees’ 2025 first-rounder saw his first game action of the season as he commenced a rehab assignment for the FCL Yankees:”
