Sean Yamashev

About Sean
Expert Analysis
JR Eskilson | Prep Soccer Scout
Yamashev is a new arrival to Colorado this season. The Rapids recruited the forward from Richmond United (VA). He’s improved in his rookie season with the Rapids Academy. He was outstanding at the ECNL level last season and the confidence and swagger has returned to his game in recent outings. He plays as a center forward. He’s right footed, six-foot-one, and strong. There are quite a few moments in every game when he puts a defender on the ground in a duel with his lower body strength. It seems like defenders are caught off guard with how strong he is, but they should be aware of it at this point. He has the pace to get behind the defense. He is at his best when he can link up with the No. 10 and play quick combinations. He had some great moments this season showcasing this part of his game. As long as he continues to play with the confidence he has shown lately, he will be one of the top forwards in the MLS Next playoffs.
