As we continue to get deeper into this ranking of top Red Sox prospects, we continue to go on our mid-tier run of pitchers. Entering this round of voting, there had been four straight pitchers selected on the list as well as five of the last six selections being on the pitching side of things. We can add another one to the list. Coming in at number 12 on our list, and making it five consecutive pitching prospects, is Jay Groome, who received 45 percent of the vote.
Jay Groome has been on the radar of scouts since his high school days, as the lefty from New Jersey was one of the most talented prep pitchers in the nation.
