Red Sox: Prep 3B Nicholas Northcut signs for $565,000.00
Ohio prep third baseman Nicholas Northcut signs with the Red Sox for third round money. He adds another high upside power bat to a depleted farm system.
The Boston Red Sox were aggressive in seeking out high ceiling prospects in the 2018 MLB Draft. Their first round pick, Triston Casas has 70 grade power and the potential to be a monster in the middle of the lineup. Second round pick Nick Decker also has big raw power but some questions about his hit tool. If he pans out, he too could be the anchor in the heart of a major league lineup. But the most interesting pick they made was on day three, when they used their 11th round pick on prep third baseman Nicholas Northcut.
