What a week it’s been for Brayan Bello. First the 22-year-old starting pitcher was included on Keith Law’s annual list of the top 100 prospects in baseball and today he finds himself as the number five prospect on our list of the top Red Sox prospects entering the 2022 season (if we even have one). While I can’t speak to how much of a difference getting on these types of lists makes to Bello himself, it at least serves as a strong indication of how much the right-hander has improved his game.
Clearly you all in the voting public are paying attention to that, as Bello was the clear choice for the number five prospect spot on our community list, gaining 61 percent of the votes and outpacing other contenders like Jeter Downs and Bryan Mata.
