Vicente David Conde (born October 13, 1993) is an American professional baseball shortstop in Minor League Baseball for the New York Yankees' organization. He played college baseball for the Vanderbilt Commodores, who won the 2014 College World Series.

Career

Conde attended Orangewood Christian High School in Maitland, Florida, and played for the school's baseball team.[1] In 2011, his senior year, Orangewood Christian set a Florida state record for home runs.[2][3]

Conde enrolled at Vanderbilt University, and played college baseball for the Vanderbilt Commodores baseball team. He played as a third baseman as a freshman, but moved to shortstop as a sophomore due to an injury to Dansby Swanson.[4][5] When Swanson returned from injury, he shifted to second base due to Conde's strong defense at shortstop.[5] As a junior in 2014, Conde had a .284 batting average, 50 runs batted in (RBIs). He won the Gold Glove award as the nation's best defensive shortstop, as he committed four errors in 223 total chances, good for a .984 fielding percentage.[1][4][5] Conde had a RBI during the deciding game of the 2014 College World Series, as Vanderbilt defeated the Virginia Cavaliers.[1]

The New York Yankees selected Conde in the ninth round, with the 272nd overall selection, of the 2014 MLB draft.[1] Conde signed with the Yankees, receiving a $155,000 signing bonus.[5] The Yankees assigned him to play for the Staten Island Yankees of the Class A-Short Season New York–Penn League.[6]

Personal life

Conde was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[7] He grew up rooting for the Yankees and the Miami Marlins, following Derek Jeter's career closely.[6]
