In the games throughout this time period, the 21 year old had a .357 batting average along with three homers and and 13 RBIs. Bichette is considered among the best prospects in the New York Yankees Minor League System. In his latest appearance with the T-Yanks on 5/25 he was 2 for 5 with a homer and 2 RBIs.

So far this season Bichette has maintained a .291 avg. in 48 games with 6 homers and 30 RBIs ( second most on the team).
