Luis Medina is a hard throwing RHP from Nagua, Dominican Republic. In 2020, Medina spent the entire season at the New York Yankees alternate site on the 60-man roster. Medina won the 2020 “Pitcher of the Year” award in the Puerto Rico Winter League where he fanned 32 hitters in 16.2 innings. Medina is rated by Baseball America as the New York Yankees number 9 prospect.

Two other big arms arriving in Hudson Valley are Ken Waldichuk and Hayden Wisneski. Both are considered top 30 prospects by MLB Pipeline.

Mickey Gaspar will also vie for time behind the plate. Gaspar was also a South Atlantic League All-Star in 2019.
