Meet The New Guy: Kyle Teel

He’s Kyle Teel from the University of Virginia, and the Red Sox just made him the 14th pick in the MLB draft.

What position does he play?

He’s a catcher, but he’s athletic enough that he’s played all over the diamond. In fact, during one showcase game last summer, he played every single position on the diamond except pitcher and catcher.

Is he going to be any good?

Literally no one knows! In baseball, even the very best draftees take years to develop into big leaguers, and the bust rate is extremely high.
