When the Red Sox selected catcher Kyle Teel with the 14th overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, it didn’t take long for the positive reviews of the decision to start rolling in.
The pick of Teel went slightly against what had been projected, though considering he was seen as a top-10 talent, it was unsurprising that analysts supported Boston’s choice.
“He is a left-handed hitter with an ideal swing for Fenway Park and good contact skills despite a violent swing, as well as a plus throwing arm,” wrote ESPN’s David Schoenfield.
