The Red Sox grabbed prep left-hander Jason Groome with the 12th overall pick on Thursday in the first round of the MLB Draft.
The 17-year-old Groome, who is 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, was projected by many to be selected with one of the top few picks in the Draft. The southpaw is a senior at Barnegat (N.J.) High School and has committed to Vanderbilt.
The Draft continues on Friday with Rounds 3-10. The MLB.com preview show begins at 12:30 p.m. ET, with exclusive coverage of Rounds 3-10 beginning at 1 p.m. ET.
