Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Marco Luciano, 24-year-old former Giants top prospect, was claimed off waivers by the Yankees during the offseason and promoted from Double-A Somerset to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In 28 games at Double-A, he hit 10 home runs with 23 RBIs and slashed .327/.410/.713. Early Triple-A performance shows .333 batting average with 6 hits, 1 home run, 3 RBIs, and 6 runs in first 5 games. Luciano is attempting to rebound after struggling with the Giants (2023-24: .217/.286/.304 with 35.7% strikeout rate in 126 plate appearances). The Yankees view him as a potential future contributor, though he is behind Anthony Volpe and George Lombard Jr. on the depth chart.
