While the Boston Red Sox have been struggling at the major league level, there has been no hotter pitcher in the entire organization than 2025 third-round pick Anthony Eyanson. After dominating in his first five starts with High-A Greenville, he is reportedly heading to Double-A.
The Red Sox selected Eyanson with their third-round pick in the 2025 MLB Draft out of Louisiana State University (LSU), agreeing to a $1.75 million bonus, more than $800,000 over the $902,200 slot value associated with the No. 87 pick.
After spending the rest of the 2025 season in Fort Myers with the remainder of the Red Sox draft class, Eyanson was assigned to High-A Greenville to make his professional debut at the beginning of this season. Across five starts at Eyanson allowed just one earned run on seven hits across 20.1 innings, while striking out 34.
