In addition to the several draft picks the Yankees brought into the fold over the weekend, Baseball America is reporting that the Yankees also signed Christopher Tamarez, a 16-year-old shortstop from the Dominican Republic.

Tamarez was ranked 29th on BA’s list of 33 international prospects to watch in this year’s signing period. The Yankees signed the 6-foot-1, 175-pounder for $650,000 – the fourth highest bonus given to a free agent this year.

Here is BA’s scouting report on Tamarez from before the opening of the international free agent period July 2:

“One of the better athletes in Latin America is Tamarez, who plays in the Dominican Prospect League. He hit well in the league but some scouts say he stands out more for his tools and projectable, wiry body. Tamarez, 16, runs well and has a solid-average arm, and while he’s still cleaning up his defense he has a chance to remain at shortstop. He also has potential at the plate and has the size to project for average power as he fills out.”
