Red Sox: The evolution of Rick Porcello
Boston Red Sox starter Rick Porcello has evolved into one of the game’s best hurlers. However, the path to success is never as easy as it appears.
With the 27th pick of the 2007 Amateur Draft, the Detroit Tigers selected Rick Porcello out of Seton Hall Prep. in New Jersey. He debuted on April 9, 2009, at the age of 20, against the Toronto Blue Jays, taking the loss after going five innings and allowing four earned runs.
On December 11, 2014, in exchange for OF Yoenis Cespedes and P Justin Wilson, Porcello became a member of the Boston Red Sox.
