Summary
The Red Sox solved their biggest draft mystery by landing high school outfielder Martin Shelar in the ninth round—after teams doubted he’d sign. Boston bet big, and Shelar’s elite right-handed bat, highlighted by a .500 average and 19 homers in his senior year, makes him a potential superstar. His swing? Comparable to Jay Buhner, with jaw-dropping bat speed. Though he’ll need time in the minors, Boston now has a cornerstone of their draft class locked in—and Shelar’s got to deliver.
