Red Sox’ first-round pick Kyle Teel batting .571 to start his pro career

The Red Sox’ 2023 first-round draft selection is already enjoying success in the minor leagues, batting .571 with two teams.

Catcher Kyle Teel has spent just three games with Boston’s High-A affiliate Greenville Drive in South Carolina, but already has accumulated nine hits in 14 at-bats.

In the 21-year-old’s three Greenville appearances, he’s logged as many three-hit games. Teel batted 3-for-4 in Saturday night’s victory over the Grasshoppers while also drawing a walk and scoring twice. He batted 3-for-5 with two runs batted in in his initial Drive game. Teel then collected three RBIs, three hits, one walk, and touched home twice in his second Greenville start.
