El Paso Native Signs with Yankees
Drew Gonzalez, a standout baseball player at Americas High School in El Paso, Texas, has officially signed with the New York Yankees after being selected in the sixth round of the 2026 MLB Draft with the 189th overall pick.
Choosing Professional Path Over College
The El Paso native turned down a scholarship offer from Texas Tech University, electing instead to pursue a professional contract that will forfeit his remaining NCAA eligibility.
Path Forward in the Yankees Organization
Gonzalez will begin his development through the Yankees’ minor‑league affiliates, aiming to climb the ranks and eventually make his debut in the Major Leagues.
