Top 5 Starting Pitchers – (Factor Score) / Highest Level Attained

 

1. RHP Mike Shawaryn – (26) / HiA Salem

2. LHP Dedgar Jimenez – (16) /AA Portland 

3. LHP Matthew Kent– (15) / HiA Salem   “Legit UTR”

4. LHP Kyle Hart – (13)  / HiA Salem

5. RHP Bryan Mata – (11)  / LoA Greenville   “Watch Worthy”

 ** I mentioned Mata during the 2017 pre-season in my Red Sox “One to Watch” piece. The then 17-year old 6’3″ right-hander was already throwing a mid-90’s fastball and near plus breaking ball. The organization aggressively assigned Mata to LoA ball to start 2017, where he posted outstanding peripherals. 

 

 

Top 3 Relief Pitchers – (Factor Score) / Highest Level Attained

1. LHP Bobby Poyner – (12)   “Legit UTR”

2. RHP Hildemaro Requena – (6)

3. RHP Jared Oliver – (6)

 

Trade Impact: The Red Sox traded Gerson Bautista and Stephen Nogosek, who were ranked #2 and #3 respectively, to the New York Mets for Addison Reed.
