## Resource

Kyson Witherspoon, a top-100 prospect drafted by the Red Sox, is facing early struggles in High-A ball with a 6.46 ERA, as his adjusted pitching mechanics—longer arm action and inconsistent rhythm—have thrown off his form. Analyst Keith Law notes he now looks more like a reliever, but praises the Sox for bold adjustments that may take time to pay off. While his draft status hangs in the balance, this rough start underscores that even elite prospects must navigate steep learning curves before proving themselves against real competition.
