Red Sox sign first-round pick: The Red Sox announced on Sunday that the team has signed 16 of its 2025 draft picks, including first-rounder Kyson Witherspoon.
Witherspoon, 20, is a right-handed pitcher who has been described as having “just [scratched] the surface of how good he can be” by former Rockies GM Dan O’Dowd.
The selection of Witherspoon 15th overall was generally praised by experts, who noted that he was one of the top pitchers in college baseball.
Along with Witherspoon, Boston has signed five of its top seven picks.
