Matt Donlan has continued the impressive line of UConn catchers over the past five-plus years, becoming the third straight Husky starting catcher to head to the professional ranks. On Tuesday, Donlan signed a free agent deal with Boston upon the conclusion of the 2022 MLB Draft.
Zac Susi, who held the starting job between 2016 and 2018, and Pat Winkel, the team’s backstop in 2019-2021, were picked in the 12th round and ninth round, respectively.
The Red Sox can sign him to a bonus of up to $125,000 before it counts against their bonus pool.
