The New York Yankees are building around homegrown talent in 2026, with Aaron Judge joined by Cam Schlittler and Ben Rice as key contributors.

Aaron Judge remains central to the Yankees' performance, but Cam Schlittler and Ben Rice, both developed in the team's farm system, have emerged as major factors this season. FanGraphs data shows Schlittler leading with 2.9 WAR, followed by Judge at 2.3 and Rice at 2.2. This marks a shift from recent years when the club depended more on free-agent signings and trades to support Judge in his 11th season.
