The MLB draft has been a hit or miss proposition for the Red Sox. But that’s actually true of every team. There’s no such thing as a sure thing, and even first round picks bust on a fairly regular basis. That said, this particular Red Sox ownership group has had a fairly specific approach toward drafting. For bats, they’ve mostly targeted up the middle players with plenty of athleticism. This led to first-round selections of players like Andrew Benintendi, Jackie Bradley Jr., and Blake Swihart. It’s also led to less exciting players like Deven Marrero and Rey Fuentes.
