Yankees fans excited about new draft pick's name and chances of replacing Anthony Volpe

The New York Yankees' fifth-round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft has fans excited.

The first reason is his name: Core Jackson.

He's a shortstop out of Utah.

And that's the second part that has Yankees fans excited, his position, the fact that maybe in a few years, he can be the answer at the spot that Anthony Volpe hasn't quite provided.

There's a lot of development between this moment and that moment, to be sure.
