Memory Lane: Luke Wrenn’s impact as Red Sox scout 1990-1999

There’s a lot that gets said about baseball players- their achievements, their struggles, their history, and their journey. Rarely do we hear about the people responsible for hunting through schools, clubs, and leagues to bring a young player to the attention of a major league team. Luke Wrenn is one of the greatest scouts, recognized through his induction into the Professional Baseball Scouts Hall of Fame in 2015. He spent 9 years scouting for the Boston Red Sox.

Wrenn played 5 seasons in MLB with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the San Diego Padres clubs. When his playing career ended he returned to school, where he got a Bachelors and Masters in Education.
