We start off with some college baseball talk and then move on to discuss the Red Sox trade with the Royals where they acquired a very interesting starting pitching prospect. We also briefly touch on the signings of Liam Hendriks and Michael Fulmer, before going through what the top pitching prospects in the system need to do to take the next step in their development!

He then briefly talks about Richard Fitts and what he saw in Worcester recently, before going in depth on Luis Perales. He goes through the arsenal changes and what has allowed him to take that next step in his development and led to his imminent promotion to Portland. After that he dives into Elmer Rodriguez’s rising stock and what has worked for Ryan Zeferjahn so far. Finally, he wraps up with a brief recap of how the FCL Red Sox have done so far and including an impressive start from shortstop Yoeilin Cespedes! Got something to say?
