Top Red Sox Prospect Marcelo Mayer Promoted
Recently, the Red Sox promoted top shortstop prospect Marcelo Mayer (#1 Red Sox, #5 Overall MLB) to AA Portland. He will report to Somerset for their series against the Yankees AA affiliate, the Patriots, kicking off on May 30th at 6:05.
Mayer was drafted in the first round of the 2020 draft. Considered to be the best hitter in the entire draft, it was considered a miracle that he fell to the Red Sox with the #5 overall pick. With his great mix of defense, contact abilities, and raw power, it could be only a matter of time before Marcelo Mayer is called up to the show.
