For the second straight round we had an extremely close vote this time around. When Marcus Wilson took the last vote, it was largely because three pitchers all siphoned votes from each other and let the position player sneak through. There wasn’t a position player on the horizon this time, but the three pitchers all stayed right with each other. In the end, it was Aldo Ramirez coming in at number 16 (number 17 with Jeter Downs, who was not included when this voting began), grabbing 28 percent of the vote.
Ramirez is still a relatively new face in the Red Sox system, having signed at the very end of the 2017-2018 international amateur period.
