Marcelo Mayer, Red Sox farm system earn rave reviews in Keith Law’s prospect rankings

The future continues to look bright for the Red Sox when it comes to Marcelo Mayer and the rest of Boston’s stacked prospect pipeline.

Keith Law of The Athletic released his latest top 60 MLB prospect rankings on Thursday, with five Red Sox prospects landing in the top 50.

Law in particular had plenty of praise for shortstop Marcelo Mayer, with the 21-year-old tabbed as the No. 2 prospect in all of baseball behind only Orioles phenom Jackson Holliday.

“Mayer has been hitting all season, but he’s had even better results in June and so far in July, even with some continued trouble with sliders down and in or below the zone,” Law wrote of Mayer.
