ESPN.com's Keith Law has announced his
Top 100 Prospects and five players in the Red Sox organization made the list. Not surprisingly, catcher
Blake Swihart (generally regarded as the best backstop prospect in
all of baseball) was the most highly ranked—at #10 on Law's list. Next up—at #20—was 6'6" LHP
Henry Owens.
Another left-hander—
Eduardo Rodriguez (acquired in the
Andrew Miller deal)—came in at #29. Further down the list were 3B
Rafael Devers at #55 and speedy OF
Manuel Margot at #70. Having this many prospects in the Top 100 is particularly impressive considering other young Red Sox players who've already tasted The Show (e.g.,
Mookie Betts and
Rusney Castillo) are
not eligible for this list.
