2018 Red Sox top prospect voting: Darwinzon Hernandez may be ready to break through

After a few rounds of voting in which he was right in the thick of things until the very end, Darwinzon Hernandez finally gets his moment in the sun in our community prospect rankings. The lefty was involved in another close vote this time around, but after so many losses he finally got a win. Hernandez is our number 13 prospect.

In what has become one of the Red Sox scouting department’s biggest international wins in recent years, Darwinzon Hernandez was an incredibly under-the-radar signing back in the summer of 2013 when he joined the team for a modest $25,000 signing bonus out of Venezuela.
