Sox open Day 2 of Draft by taking Rei
2015 Draft: Austin Rei, C 0:52 Austin Rei has a plus arm that controls the running game, moves very well behind the plate and has outstanding hands BOSTON -- The Red Sox had a lengthy wait before being able to make their second selection in the Draft, but they were pleased that catcher Austin Rei was still there waiting for them.
The University of Washington product was Boston's third-round selection, and No. 81 overall. Rei likely would have gone sooner if not for a torn left thumb ligament that knocked him out of action in February and limited his season to 25 games.
