MLB Draft: Yankees select 1B Chris Grittens 362nd overall

With the 362nd pick (12th round) in the MLB Draft, the Yankees selected another college guy, first baseman Chris Gittens out of Grayson County College, a Junior College school.

Grittens' stat page on the official JuCo website says that he was also a pitcher in college, but the Yankees drafted him as a first baseman, so it seems like that's where he play as he tries to work his way through the farm system.

He's a big guy at 6-2, 250 pounds and hit .404 this past season with Greyson County, hitting three homeruns and driving in 42 runs in 41 games.
