Red Sox prospect update: How the top 10 fared in 2024
.288/.386/.433, 13 (84 games at Double-A Portland, 28 games at Triple-A Worcester)
MLB ETA:
Teel experienced some growing pains early on in Worcester, but the 22-year-old backstop eventually found his groove and finished the season strong. He ended his year on a 14-game on-base streak and with a .375/.516/.542 slash line in September. Like Anthony, he should have an opportunity to make the Red Sox roster out of spring training.
.322/.454/.733, 27 (61 games at Texas A&M)
MLB ETA:
Montgomery is expected to make his pro debut in 2025 after recovering from the broken ankle he suffered in June. The 12th overall pick in the 2024 draft starred at Texas A&M and has all of the tools to rise quickly through the minor-league ranks.
.330/.439/.558, 20 (40 games at High-A Greenville, 56 games at Double-A Portland, 19 games at Triple-A Worcester
MLB ETA:
What a year it was for Campbell, the organization's breakout prospect of the season. Campbell was named the Red Sox' 2024 Minor League Player of the Year after starting the campaign at High-A Greenville and finishing it at Triple-A Worcester. He raked at every level and suddenly looks like a strong candidate to take over as Boston's starting second baseman at some point in 2025.
.309/.409/.487, 9 (51 games at Florida Complex League, 36 games at Low-A Salem)
MLB ETA:
Arias snuck into Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects list (No. 94) amid a breakout season - his first as a pro. The 18-year-old middle infielder has shown off his bat-to-ball skills, speed, and stellar defense in rookie ball and at Low-A Salem.
With Mayer, Anthony, Teel, and Campbell each expected to graduate to the majors next year, Arias will have a chance to take over as the club's No. 1 ranked prospect.
.319/.400/.615, 5 (25 games at Florida Complex League)
MLB ETA:
Cespedes' season ended early due to a broken hamate bone in his left hand. He'll look to bounce back and reassert himself as one of Boston's most exciting prospects next year.
.221/.303/.354, 11 (43 games at Low-A Salem, 52 games at High-A Greenville)
MLB ETA:
Once labeled one of the organization's most hyped prospects in recent memory, Bleis' stock has taken a hit over the last couple of years due to injuries and subpar performance. He struggled mightily this season with Greenville, posting a .191/.265/.319 slash line in 52 games. The raw talent is undeniable, but Bleis' spot in these rankings will continue to drop if he can't replicate his promising 2022 season.
MLB ETA:
Perales was making a name for himself as one of Boston's few promising pitching prospects before suffering a season-ending elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. The 21-year-old will likely spend all of 2025 rehabbing in hopes of returning to form in 2026.
MLB ETA:
Sandlin's ERA won't impress anyone, but the 23-year-old flamethrower has some of the best swing-and-miss stuff in the Red Sox system. Acquired from Kansas City in exchange for reliever John Schreiber, Sandlin gets hitters out with a filthy splitter to pair with his high-90s fastball. The next step in his development will be improving his breaking pitches.
