2025 Red Sox MLB Draft Tracker. Sox pick Mason White on Day 2 of draft

And we’re finished.

The Sox used a whopping 15 of their 21 picks on pitchers, a marked departure from the draft technique employed within the Bloom years. Maybe much more surprisingly, they chose only a single excessive schooler, Fabian Bonilla out of Puerto Rico within the nineteenth spherical (although that’s a pure consequence of prioritzing pitchers, who’re drafted out of faculty at a lot larger charges than excessive schoolers). Furthermore, all of those pitchers fall in usually the identical class: large dudes with large stuff; each single pitcher they chose is at the least 6’2”. Craig Breslow has a sort.

Right here’s the ultimate checklist:

Spherical 1 (#15): Kyson Witherspoon, RHP, Oklahoma

Aggressive Steadiness Decide (#33): Marcus Phillips, RHP, Tennessee

Compensation Decide (75): Henry Goodbout, INF, Virginia

Spherical 3: (#87) Anthony Eyanson, RHP, LSU

Spherical 4 (#118): Mason White, SS, Arizona

Spherical 5 (#148): Christian Foutch, RHP, Arkansas

Spherical 6 (#178): Leighton Finley, RHP, Georgia

Spherical 7 (#208): Myles Patton, LHP, Texas A&M

Spherical 8 (#238): Dylan Brown, LHP, Outdated Dominion

Spherical 9 (#268): Jacob Mayers, RHP, LSU

Spherical 10 (#298): Maximus Martin, SS, Kansas State

Spherical 11 (#328): Barrett Morgan, RHP, Cowley County CC

Spherical 12 (#358): Ethan Walker, LHP, Kentucky

Spherical 13 (#388): Jack Winnay, 3B, Wake Forest

Spherical 14 (#418): Carter Rasmussen, RHP, Wofford

Spherical 15 (#448): Skylar King, OF, West Virginia

Spherical 16 (#478): Jason Gilman, LHP, Kean College

Spherical 17 (#508): Patrick Galle, RHP, Ole Miss

Spherical 18 (#538): Cade Fisher, LHP, Auburn

Spherical 19 (#568): Fabian Bonilla, OF, Christian Army Academy (PR)

Spherical 20 (#598): Garrison Sumner, RHP, BYU

UPDATE 2:00 PM: Issues are actually beginning to transfer and it’s now formally humorous what number of pitchers the Sox have chosen. Within the sixth, seventh, and eighth rounds they’ve picked up Leighton Finley out of Georgia, Myles Patton from Texas A&M, and Dylan Brown of Outdated Dominion. All three are pitchers, with each Patton and Brown being lefties. We appear to be within the portion of the draft the place the Sox are specializing in cheap-to-sign school pitchers who’ve loads of query marks to go together with hopefully untapped potential. They could be attempting to avoid wasting bonus pool cash to draw a harder-to-sign highschool expertise in a while.

UPDATE, 12:30 PM: And we’ve yet one more pitcher! The Purple Sox draft technique has taken a close to 180 beneath the brand new regime. This one is Christian Foutch out of the College of Arkansas, the 231st-ranked prospect general in response to . Foutch’s fastball can hit 100, which explains why he was drafted regardless that he put up an ERA over 4 as a reliever this yr, steadily in mop-up conditions.

UPDATE, 11:45 AM: With the 118th general choose, the Purple Sox choose Mason White within the fourth spherical. White is a shortstop out of the College of Arizona who struggles with strikeouts however is bursting with instruments, making him a high-upside man if he can work out his swing-and-miss points.

UPDATE, JULY 14, 2005: And with their ultimate choose of the day, the Sox chosen pitcher Anthony Eyanson from LSU at #87. Eyanson pitched the clinching sport of the School World Sequence, throwing 6.1 innings towards Coastal Carolina, permitting three runs and 7 hits whereas hanging out 9. This yr’s draft technique continued to replicate a big change from the Chaim Bloom period, when the Sox tended to keep away from pitchers within the early rounds.

The draft will resume with rounds 4-20 as we speak at 11 AM. The Sox will choose thirteenth in each spherical.

UPDATE, 10:31 PM EDT: Now we have our first place participant. With the #75 choose earned after shedding Nick Pivetta to free company, the Sox chosen Henry Godbout, a center infielder from UVA. Godbout, who was born in New York Metropolis however went to highschool in Tennessee, hit .309 with 8 homers in 50 video games for the Cavs this yr. He additionally performed within the Cape Cod League for Harwich, which is my favourite city on the Cape, in order that’s good. The Sox have been monitoring Godbout for some time and even labored him out at Fenway when he was nonetheless in highschool.

UPDATE, 8:45 PM EDT: And with the Larry Hen choose, the Sox choose one other towering pitcher, Marcus Phillps out of South Dakota (!) by way of the College of Tennessee. That is the reverse situation we encountered with Witherspoon. Whereas Witherspoon fell to fifteen after being thought-about a top-10 man, the Sox stretched a bit going with Phillips, who was solely the 61st ranked participant on However, hey, he touches 100 MPH on the gun. When you have got a chance so as to add somebody who can do this to your group, it’s usually a good suggestion to take it.

UPDATE, 7:36 PM EDT: The primary choose is in and all of America is shouting Justice for Bob Osgood! After utterly whiffing on Braden Montgomery final yr, Bob comes roaring again in 2025, nailing the Sox first spherical choose as none apart from Kyson Witherspoon, a right-handed pitcher from Oklahoma.

Like Kyle Teel and Marcelo Mayer earlier than him, Witherspoon is a kind of guys who inexplicably dropped within the first spherical and fell into the Sox lap (Baseball America had him as #7 on their large board). Right here’s what Bob wrote about him earlier this week:

Witherspoon transferred to Oklahoma from a JuCo previous to his sophomore season and has taken main steps ahead since. Pitching within the SEC this yr, Witherspoon was 10-4 with a 2.65 in 16 begins, hanging out 124 in 95 innings. His stroll price dropped from 4.5 BB/9 as a sophomore to 2.2 BB/9 as a junior. Whereas it’s much less possible that the Purple Sox go together with an arm, Witherspoon and Tyler Bremner are the 2 that they appear most linked to.

Do you know that the MLB draft used be carried out totally over the telephone? No cameras. No handshakes with the commissioner. No hordes of individuals on the web pretending that they’ve ever seen any of those guys play an inning baseball.

In gentle of the truth that the overwhelming majority of gamers drafted over the following two days received’t have any influence on their groups for years — in the event that they ever do in any respect — the previous means of doing issues over the telephone was, in a means, extra trustworthy. However the televised draft is clearly extra enjoyable.

Tonight we’ll get the primary three rounds. Protection begins at 6 PM on MLB Community, whereas ESPN may even cowl the primary spherical.

The Red Sox, true to their current legacy of being MLB’s most mid staff, might be drafting proper smack in the midst of the primary spherical at #15. They’ll go once more at #33 and #75 earlier than pausing to renew tomorrow.

We’ll have updates right here because the Sox make their picks. Within the meantime, take a look at some players who might be available when they’re on the clock.
