The second edition of MLB’s Spring Breakout is just a week away, and the Boston Red Sox’s top-ranked farm system will once again take center stage.
The league-wide spring training showcase for baseball’s top young players will get underway on March 13 when the Red Sox hit the road to face the Tampa Bay Rays in Port Charlotte, Florida. The teams announced their rosters for the event Thursday, and Boston’s collection of talent is expectedly star-studded.
Outfielder Roman Anthony, second baseman Kristian Campbell and shortstop Marcelo Mayer – all of whom have already been suiting up for the Red Sox in Grapefruit League play – will be present at the game. As the No. 2, No. 7 and No. 12 prospects in MLB Pipeline’s preseason top 100, they will be three of the six highest-ranked players taking part in Spring Breakout.
While outfielders Jhostynxon Garcia and Miguel Bleis will also be heading from big league spring training to the Spring Breakout, middle infielders Franklin Arias and Yoeilin Cespedes will headline the new wave of prospects who will finally get a chance to shine.
Here is the full list of prospects on the Red Sox’s Spring Breakout roster:
Pitchers: David Sandlin, Connelly Early, Hunter Dobbins, Payton Tolle, Juan Valera, Jedixson Paez, Yordanny Monegro, Blake Wehunt, Jojo Ingrassia, Brandon Clarke, Cooper Adams, Reidis Sena, Adam Smith
Catchers: Brooks Brannon, Ronald Rosario, Kleyver Salazar
Infielders: Kristian Campbell, Marcelo Mayer, Franklin Arias, Yoeilin Cespedes, Mikey Romero, Blaze Jordan
