Zach Schneider signed a rookie contract with the Boston Red Sox in early June — and he’s already making an impact on the mound.

The Gulf Coast League Red Sox, the team’s rookie ball affiliate, had its first game Monday against the Gulf Coast Rays. Schneider made his debut as the team’s closer as he always has been with the Owls.
