Holding the No. 4 pick in this year’s MLB Draft, the Red Sox are in a good spot to get a top-tier prospect.
One of those top prospects is Jack Leiter. The Vanderbilt pitcher is expected to be the first pitcher selected in Sunday’s draft, making it a strong possibility he gets picked before the Red Sox get on the clock.
However, Leiter could be making a play to fall enough in the draft to get selected by the Red Sox, according to draft expert and insider Eric Longenhagen and FanGraphs’ Kevin Goldstein.
