Michael Andrew Yastrzemski (born August 23, 1990) is an American professional baseball outfielder in the Baltimore Orioles' Minor League Baseball system. Prior to playing professionally, Yastrzemski played college baseball for the Vanderbilt Commodores. He is the grandson of Carl Yastrzemski.
Yastrzemski attended St. John's Preparatory School in Danvers, Massachusetts. Yastrzemski played for the school's baseball team, and was named team captain in his senior year. He committed to attend Vanderbilt University, on a college baseball scholarship. Seen as a potential early round selection in the 2009 Major League Baseball (MLB) Draft, Yastrzemski indicated that he would attend college unless chosen in the first round. The Boston Red Sox selected him in the 36th round of the 2009 MLB Draft. Yastrzemski did not sign with the Red Sox, and instead enrolled at Vanderbilt to play for the Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team.
Yastrzemski became a starter for the Commodores in the middle of his freshman year. After his junior year, the Seattle Mariners selected him in the 30th round of the 2012 MLB draft. The Mariners offered Yastrzemski a $300,000 signing bonus, well above the suggested bonus for a player chosen in that round. Yastrzemski chose not to sign, and returned to Vanderbilt for his senior year. As a senior, Yastrzemski was named All-Southeastern Conference. The Baltimore Orioles selected Yastrzemski in the 14th round of the 2013 MLB draft, and he signed.
