On Sunday, the Boston Red Sox made a massive move in their system. According to Andrew Parker of Beyond the Monster, the Red Sox promoted top pitching prospect Payton Tolle to Triple-A Worcester.
The move is incredibly aggressive. Tolle spent just six games (five starts) in Double-A. He only needed 27 innings ot prove himself ready for the next level. The left-handed pitcher posted a 1.67 ERA, .144 BAA, and 0.74 WHIP in his short tenure with the Sea Dogs. He struck out 37 batters and only walked seven.
Tolle was the Sox's second-round draft pick last season.
