Summary
The Red Sox rotation’s hype has fizzled, but a 23-year-old rookie named Payton Tolle is quietly dominating. Called up in April, he’s posted a 2.61 ERA with 46 strikeouts in 41 innings, thanks to a nasty 96 mph fastball paired with a sinker and cutter. He’s also dialed in on command, striking out nearly 30% while walking few, putting him in elite company with Skenes and deGrom. This kid, Boston’s top prospect, is turning heads and proving the best arm in the rotation wasn’t on anyone’s preseason list. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
