Without further ado, the full list of Day Two selections for the Boston Red Sox during the 2025 MLB Draft:

Round 4, 118th overall: Mason White, SS, Arizona

Mason White is a 21-year-old junior, standing in at 5'11" and 178 pounds. He played shortstop for Arizona this year where he posted a .327/.412/.689 slash line, good for a 1.101 OPS with 20 home runs from the left side of the plate. He could stick at shortstop but might profile better at second base.

Round 5, 148th overall: Christian Foutch, RHP Arkansas

Another 21-year-old junior, Foutch pitched exclusively out of the bullpen for the Razorbacks for the entirety of his college career. In 21 appearances this spring, he logged a 4.09 ERA while striking out 31 hitters and allowing just a .182 batting average against. His upper-90s fastball paired with an advanced splitter stand out here.

Round 6, 178th overall: Leighton Finley, RHP, Georgia

Finley is a big right-hander, standing in at 6'6" and 225 pounds. A weekend starter for the Bulldogs, he posted a 4.85 ERA across 68 2/3 innings. He throws a mid-to-upper-90s fastball with a deceptive delivery and a wider pitch mix that features a few offerings with some promise.

Round 7, 208th overall: Myles Patton, LHP, Texas A&M

Patton is a strike-throwing lefty with a starter's frame. He made 15 starts for Texas A&M this spring, posting a 5.26 ERA across 77 innings with 82 strikeouts. He throws a low-90s fastball that plays up due to his release traits, along with a tight slider. He has flashed a few more pitches that can be developed further at the next level.

Round 8, 238th overall: Dylan Brown, LHP, Old Dominion

Brown is a big, physical lefty standing in at 6'5" and 230 pounds. He threw 82 innings across 15 starts for Old Dominion this spring, posting a 4.06 ERA while striking out 102. He has a three-pitch mix, featuring an above-average slider and changeup along with a mediocre low-90s fastball. His advanced feel and command stands out.

Round 9, 268th overall: Jacob Mayers, RHP, LSU

Mayers certainly stands out in this draft class having one of the most unique fastballs. He has ran it up as high as 102 mph, averaging 23 inches of induced vertical break. However, he's way too reliant on it and has yet to really develop any secondaries. He made 17 appearances out of the bullpen for the Tigers this year, posting a 4.80 ERA in 15 innings with 26 strikeouts.

Round 10, 298th overall: Maximus Martin, SS, Kansas State

In 243 plate appearances with Kansas State this spring, Martin hit 14 home runs with a 1.031 OPS. He has some of the best raw power in the class but has some holes in his hit tool and approach at the plate. His defensive home is also a question mark as he probably ends up as a second baseman or corner outfielder. 

Round 11, 328th overall: Barrett Morgan, RHP, Cowley County Community College

Morgan is the one and only JUCO product for the Red Sox in this year's class. He's another big pitcher, standing in at 6'5" and 230 pounds and just turned 20. He pitched exclusively out of the bullpen in his two seasons with Cowley County, posting a 0.42 ERA while striking out 40 in 21 1/3 innings this spring.

Round 12, 358th overall: Ethan Walker, LHP Kentucky

Walker just turned 21 and is slightly undersized as a starting pitcher at 6'2" and 195 pounds. He served as both a starter and a reliever this spring with Kentucky. In 46 1/3 innings across 14 appearances, Walker posted a 4.08 ERA while striking out 49. The Red Sox are betting on their ability to develop his lefty frame.

Round 13, 388th overall: Jack Winnay, 3B Wake Forest

Winnay primarily played first base this spring for Wake Forest, but was announced as a third baseman when selected. In 282 plate appearances, he hit 15 home runs with a .296/.416/.571 slash line, good for a .987 OPS which was actually down from his 1.042 OPS as a sophomore. They likely are looking to get more out of the glove here with the expectation his bat won't quite play at first base.

Round 14, 418th overall: Carter Rasmussen, RHP, Wofford

Rasmussen is another big, physical college arm, standing in at 6'5" and 235 pounds. He pitched primarily out of the bullpen for the entirety of his college career. In 19 appearances this spring, he threw 47 2/3 innings to the tune of a 3.21 ERA with 63 strikeouts.

Round 15, 448th overall: Skylar King, OF, West Virginia

King is a 21-year-old junior that spent his entire college career at West Virginia. He's a glove-first center fielder with speed but minimal offensive production. In 259 plate appearances this spring, he hit just three home runs with an .813 OPS. His glove will keep him around if he can produce at a baseline level at the plate.

Round 16, 478th overall: Jason Gilman, LHP, Kean University

Gilman is the only college senior taken by the Red Sox in this class, and the only Division 3 player as well. Although undersized for a starter, Gilman got quite the work load under his belt this spring, throwing 112 1/3 innings across 14 starts. He posted a 2.08 ERA with 150 strikeouts with four complete games as well. It's never a bad idea to bet on a throwback starter this late in the draft.

Round 17, 508th overall: Patrick Galle, RHP, Ole Miss

Galle is a draft-eligible sophomore that just turned 21. He has a short track record at Ole Miss, appearing in just 14 games out of the bullpen while posting an 8.18 ERA. However, this is an upside play for the Red Sox, as he features an upper-90s fastball and a cutter that misses a lot of bats.

Round 18, 538th overall: Cade Fisher, LHP, Auburn

Fisher is a junior on the older side of the class, as he turns 22 in September. He spent two seasons with Florida before transferring to Auburn, where pitched as both a starter and a reliever. In 42 1/3 innings across 14 appearances this spring, he posted 4.68 ERA and struck out 54.

Round 19, 568th overall: Fabian Bonilla, OF, Christian Military Academy (P.R.)

Bonilla is the lone high school player to be selected by the Red Sox in this class. The Puerto Rican product just turned 18, so he's young for the class. He already has the frame of a big league hitter and has flashed some solid athleticism as well. He plays outfield and both corner infield spots, so he projects as a bat-first corner player.

Round 20, 598th overall: Garrison Sumner, RHP, BYU

Sumner is the final pick for the Red Sox this year. He's a 21-year-old junior that posted an 8.32 ERA across 14 appearances this spring with BYU. His fastball sits in the low-90s without much intrigue, but the secondaries stand out as offerings that miss bats at a high rate. He's a lottery ticket, but in the last round of the draft, a guy just needs one skill to get a team to bet on him.

Breslow's choices will prove out over time but his approach to the draft was spot on.  He restocked the farm system pitching with quality starters with shorter lead times to the majors.  Precisely what we needed to build the weak side of the roster quicker and theoretically cheaper.

Breslow deserves a 10 for his approach and hopefully his selections will warrant a 10 as well in a few years.  I believe this draft was a huge step forward for the Red Sox.
