The Yankees have invited 19 non-roster players to 2020 big league spring training, including 14 minor league signings and two of the team's top 10 prospects.
The full list:
RHP Domingo Acevedo
LHP Luis Avilan
C Kellin Deglan
OF Zack Granite
RHP David Hale
INF/OF Rosell Herrera
C Chris Iannetta
C Erik Kratz
LHP Tyler Lyons
OF Thomas Milone
RHP Dan Otero
C Wynston Sawyer
C Josh Thole
RHP Nick Tropeano
OF Trey Amburgey
INF Chris Gittens
INF Kyle Holder
RHP Clarke Schmidt
RHP Alexander Vizcaíno
With the above players factored in, the Yankees are expected to have 59 players in big league camp.
Among the notable non-roster invites are prospects Clarke Schmidt and Alexander Vizcaino, who are both ranked among the Yankees' top 10 prospects.
Schmidt could be a pitcher to keep an eye on this season, with him viewed by MLB Pipeline as the Yankees' breakout prospect candidate for 2020.
It's likely that Schmidt will open the 2020 season back in Double-A, but with his relatively advanced repertoire and a chance to have four plus pitches, it wouldn't be surprising to see him quickly become a big league rotation option.
Along with Schmidt and Vizcaino, the Yankees will have four other top 10 prospects in camp who are already on the 40-man roster: Right-handed pitchers Deivi García (No. 3), Luis Gil (No. 4), Luis Medina (No. 7) and Albert Abreu (No. 10).
As far as the rest of the non-roster invites go, they're all on the outside looking in when it comes to potentially making the Opening Day 26-man roster.
