The Boston Red Sox's final pick of Day One of the MLB Draft came in the third round, as the 87th overall pick. They used that spot to select right-handed pitcher Anthony Eyanson out of LSU.
Eyanson was a surprising pick for all the right reasons. No one expected the LSU star to be available that late. He ranked at No. 40 on MLB's draft prospect rankings and No. 32 on Baseball America's list. A Red Sox scout said Eyanson was an option for pick 33, the one they got as compensation in the Quinn Priester trade.
