rewrite this title Scouting the Yankees pitching prospects at Double-A

Every year, it happens: A Yankees farm system depleted from the previous year’s trades regenerates. Pitching prospects, in particular, appear. These prospects are occasionally brought to The Bronx, but more often are placed into the coffer Brian Cashman dips into when help is needed at the trade deadline.

This time the Yankees GM used packages that included seven more pitching prospects — Trystan Vrieling, Carlos De La Rosa, Josh Grosz, Griffin Herring, Ben Shields, Gage Ziehl and Clayton Beeter — to land Ryan McMahon, Camilo Doval, Jake Bird, Austin Slater and Amed Rosario. It didn’t seem to matter that the organization lost, through trade or the Rule 5 draft, 20 pitching prospects from the 2022 deadline to Dec. 2023 and dealt a couple more in landing Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Mark Leiter Jr. at last year’s deadline.

A significant strength of the organization is producing a never-ending supply of pitching prospects whom other organizations value. Last week, The Post took a trip to Double-A Somerset to get a glimpse of the possible next batch — pitchers who may be the outliers who force their way into pinstripes or may be Cashman’s ammunition about a year from now.

All four were acquired differently — a signing out of the Dominican Republic, a trade return, a first-round pick and an undrafted discovery — which speaks to the ability of the Yankees to use every avenue (apart from selecting at the top of drafts) to secure and then develop talent.
