Red Sox Top Prospect Voting: Travis Lakins looks to take the final step

After an incredibly close vote to determine the last spot in our top prospect list, the vote for the number 15 spot was an absolute runaway. It’s no surprise as, after Jarren Duran just barely squeezed out a victory for the 14th spot, the man he was racing there took the 15th spot with ease. That would be Travis Lakins, who received 19 of 33 (58 percent) of the votes.

Lakins had a bit of helium heading into the spring of 2015 at Ohio State as he was poised to be one of the best pitching prospects that school had produced in recent memory.
