3/15/25 | Mitty grad Yorke hopes solid 2024 Pirates debut leads to Opening Day roster spot. Four years after starring for Archbishop Mitty High School in San Jose, Nick Yorke is battling for a spot on the Pittsburgh Pirates' Opening Day roster. Yorke is understandably eager to make his mark with the Pirates after a promising debut late last season, but the 22-year-old infielder knows his time will come. About 13 months after being selected by Boston in the first round of the 2020 draft, Yorke was having a rough day playing second base for the Single-A Salem Red Sox during a game on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Sensing Yorke's angst, then-Salem manager Luke Montz – a former catcher in the majors with Oakland and Washington – sent an assistant out to coach third base in his stead as the visitors came to the plate.
