At 50, the Red Sox select Payton Tolle, LHP, TCU. Boo spoilers. Boo. Wasn’t really a spoiler, it was on the mlb.com draft tracker

Fits the profile of a guy that would get slot

Tolle: Relying primarily on his fastball, he won Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Year honors while striking out 105 in 69 innings .

Seems like there will be $$ to go get a bigger bonus HS guy tomorrow.

6’7 is quite the frame. I wonder if more velo is on the way. I’d assume they’ll try to add a sweeper or some new secondary too.

Big lefty. College starter they can polish.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Cubs take a player that has been linked to the Red Sox (Mathis).

Cubs continue with the alternative universe Red Sox draft.

Also spent a lot of time as a 2 way player so perhaps a little more development room than the average college pitcher

Tolle's rankings: Baseball America: 82 MLB Pipeline: 87 Kiley McDaniel: 88 Keith Law: 48 Also 41 for Joe Doyle.

Law doesn't seem confident that Tolle has more than the fastball in his arsenal.

Speier noted their highest drafted pitcher since Tanner Houck in 2017. That feels notable. College arm and LHP are also both nice.

Big lefty. College starter they can polish. Hopefully they can develop his third pitch.

6’7 is quite the frame. I wonder if more velo is on the way. I’d assume they’ll try to add a sweeper or some new secondary too. His velocity already plays up with his insane extension. If he adds a few ticks of velo, coming from the left side he’d look really good. Not the pick I was looking for but intriguing.

Seems like there will be $$ to go get a bigger bonus HS guy tomorrow. I would guess they've 500k under slot today, plus 500k in overrage, plus maybe 300k in senior sign savings later. That would give them $2 million to offer their next pick

(Not saying it’s happening) Sounds like he could be a bullpen piece tomorrow just based on his arm slot and fastball alone

A lot of the top HS pitchers flying off the board now.
