Red Sox select Cody Scroggins with their ninth round pick
Kim Klement-USA TODAY SportsWith their second-to-last selection of the second day of the 2019 draft, the Red Sox went back to the college pitcher well, taking right-handed senior out of Arkansas Cody Scroggins. I expected them to select a few more seniors this year, as seniors obviously sign for less money given their relative lack of leverage, but this is only their second after Noah Song. Scroggins was not on Baseball America’s top 500, but he was the number 75 college pitcher for Fangraphs among those with a future value of 35 or lower.
