There’s no shortage of pitching prospects in the Boston Red Sox system. Names like Jay Groome top the list, but it was Alex Scherff who had one of the more dominating stretches by a prospect last season. Along with Tanner Houck, he managed to turn his season around with a lights-out run near the end of the year.
Now there are reasons to believe 2019 will see him build off that momentum.
Scherff held a 6.32 ERA on June 12, through his first 11 starts in Full-A last season.
