While shortstop Marcelo Mayer is generating a ton of well deserved buzz as a top-five prospect in all of baseball, there are plenty of other Red Sox minor leaguers who have been excelling so far this year.
This week, Mayer earned his first promotion to Double-A Portland after hitting .321 with six homers in May at High-A Greenville.
The 20-year-old is one of the most hyped prospects the Red Sox have had in years, earning the No. 3 spot in ESPN’s recent ranking of the top-50 prospects in baseball.
Beyond Mayer though, the Red Sox have prospects at all different levels who have been lighting it up to start the year.
