One of the newest members of the Red Sox organization is from St. Louis and has a connection with one of Jayson Tatum’s immediate family members.
Nazzan Zanetello, who the Red Sox picked in the second round of this week’s MLB Draft, played high school basketball for Tatum’s father, Justin Tatum, according to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe.
“Justin was my basketball coach,” Zanetello told The Globe. “He actually texted me [Monday] morning and said, ‘I’ll hook you up with Jayson. He’ll take care of you. That was sick.
