At this time last year, Mike Shawaryn was an extremely exciting pitching prospect for the Boston Red Sox. Coming off his best season in the minors, many expected him to get the call-up to the Majors during the 2019 season.
In 2018, the right-handed pitcher split time between Double-A and Triple-A. During that season, he threw a career-high 149 1/3 innings for a 3.44 ERA and 1.13 WHIP with 132 strikeouts. That’s a really strong season.
All the cards were definitely in place for that call-up as he was one of the top prospects in the Red Sox organization.
