The Boston Red Sox draft class of 2016 has completed their first season – a very short season for the majority of recruits. The impact story was first-round pick, Jason Groome, who completed his inaugural voyage into the professional ranks with a grand total of 6.2 innings pitched.
Within each draft, the occasional baseball nugget appears that just may be slightly ahead of the learning curve. A prospect whose first exposure translates into a player who will be watched a bit more judiciously as the next season jumps into play. This season my sudden surprise is Bobby Dalbec.
