As is typically the case in these kind of votes, and is particularly true this year, there is very little surprise for who took the top spot in this year’s OTM community prospect rankings. Taking almost 60 percent of the votes, Jason Groome is our top prospect in the Red Sox farm system for 2018.
Groome, as you’ll recall, was the team’s first round pick in 2016, being selected 12th overall in that draft. There were times in the spring leading up to that draft that the then-high schooler was seen as a potential number one overall pick, but that shine wore off as the draft got closer.
