Following a National Championship at LSU, RHP Anthony Eyanson was selected 87th overall by the Red Sox in the 2025 MLB Draft.

He tells SoxProspects.com's @ByAndrewParker, his unexpected fall in the draft just made him hungry for more.

New Red Sox C/1B Nate Baez hit .278/.371/.423 in 396 PA between A+/AA. Rule 5 eligible, went unselected. Patient approach, solid underlying contact data. Average power, good angles. 86% zone-contact, 104.4 90th EV. Had struggled w/velo. Hit LHP well in '25. More of a 1B than C.

Incredible performance by José De León in his first MLB appearance since 2023. This was the longest outing of his MLB career and only the second time he’s thrown 6 innings or more. Remarkably, the other time was his MLB debut for the Dodgers, all the way back in September 2016.
September 28, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito’s stuff was down across the board that inning. Every pitch was down at least 2 mph compared to his season average. Something to monitor as this outing goes on.
September 23, 2025 at 11:22 PM
Really impressive outing from Red Sox LHP Kyle Harrison: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K. 86p/60s. Ability to locate fastball was the key. FB zone% & whiff% were both higher than during his time in Worcester. That efficiency allowed him to work 6 innings for the first time since 7/22.

Here’s video of every pitch from Red Sox RHP Luis Perales’s electric debut tonight for Worcester: 1 IP, 3 K. 11 pitches/10 strikes.
September 18, 2025 at 2:26 AM
Red Sox RHP Luis Perales struck out the side in his Triple-A debut, on 11 pitches, without throwing a single fastball. He got 2 strikeouts on sliders & 1 on a changeup. Overall, he threw 5 cutters, 3 sliders & 2 changeups. CT 90-92, SL 86-88 & CH 83-84. 5 whiffs: 3 CT, 1 CH, 1 SL
September 17, 2025 at 11:52 PM
Red Sox OF Jhostynxon Garcia was removed from the game after the bottom of the 4th here in Worcester. He beat out an infield 1B & then went first to third, but didn’t come out in the top of the 5th. Didn’t notice anything when he was running the bases, but something to monitor.
September 17, 2025 at 11:25 PM
Red Sox RHP Luis Perales worked around a walk in his 1st inning back with Portland since TJ surgery. He threw 16 pitches total, 8 for strikes. Fastball was 97-100 on the stadium gun & cutter was 91-93. Also showed slider & splitter.

LHH: F7 on 3-2 FB
RHH: BB on 3-1 CT
RHH: 6-4-3 on 1-2 SL
