The Red Sox wasted no time bumping first round pick Kyle Teel up to High-A Greenville, and the catcher showed exactly why in his debut Tuesday.
Teel, the 14th overall selection in the 2023 MLB draft, was promoted to the Greenville Drive after three games in the Florida Complex League. In Greenville’s 14-8 win over Greensboro, he went 3-for-5 and recorded two RBI.
Even with the strong stat line at the plate, perhaps Teel’s most impressive moment on Tuesday came while he was crouched behind it. The catcher ended the top of the fourth inning with a bang, throwing out a Greensboro base runner attempting to steal second.
