Red Sox's No. 2 prospective player Jet Downs homered in his first spring training on Sunday. Best outfielder Jarren Duran hit a home run on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the pitching forwards Thad Ward, AJ Politi, Eduard Bazardo, Connor Seabold, Garrett Whitlock and Stephen Gonsalves did not score.

Red Sox manager Alex Cora said: "This is great because this is where we are as an organization." "What you see is the first part, which is the major league clubs. We With our goals, we will continue to progress for what we want to achieve. Then the second part is player development. Since Chaim (Bloom) came here, some of them have entered the organization, but he has added others . It’s great to see them participating in the competition and discuss certain situations with them."

Cora added: "The fact that they are not only young, but also excellent players, which makes it better. These kids know where they are going and they are learning games here. But at the same time, when they are out, they are Competition. They are competing at a high level, which makes it interesting."

Here are 10 early observations of the Red Sox farm system from the Major League Spring Training Camp.

Midfielder Jarren Duran (Jarren Duran) is in his best form in the Red Sox major league spring training camp.

There is a weight room in his garage.

"He lifts, sleeps, eats and plays baseball,"

.

Me, go to Pawtucket: I really hope I can make Jarren Duran do some exercise with the center.

The God of Baseball: We caught you!

Me: ...I mean baseball

The God of Baseball: You need to be more specific

Duran has a natural athletic ability and speed. His speed exceeds the leaderboard, which allows him to turn singles into doubles and doubles into triples. But he does not rely solely on speed.

His excellent physical shape shows that he has done a lot of work in the gym. This shows that he is committed to becoming Boston's future long-term center. He increased the power of the home run and adjusted his swing to hit more balls. But he still has extremely high speed, allowing him to play singles or defeat infield pitchers. Because of his speed, he still has a chance to become an above-average defender.

In 2020, it will be ranked 17th overall.

but

If the 2020 amateur season is not shortened due to COVID-19. Boston can also

-$909,700 lower than his position value. This allowed Bloom to sign the third round pick

-It is US$1.0821 million higher than its worth.

Last year, Yorke had a limited sample of advanced pitching on the alternate training ground.

, This was one of NL's best ambulances last year, in the first spring training on Monday.

York is described as a pure batsman. The Red Sox regard him as an offensive second baseman.

"A few days ago, I saw him in the batting cage and he lost weight."

"He is in a better position physically. He is a tall and strong child. This is impressive. I looked at it as if I was saying, "Who is this child?" They told me that I thought, "Wow, he is impressive. "

York and other infielders have learned a lot. Cora said that in the spring training game, he had young infielders standing near field coach Carlos Febles and quality control coach Ramon Vazquez.

"Ramon and Carlos are moving the infielders, so there are kids next to us so they can actually see it from our angle and defensive distance," Cora said.

In the 40-man lineup, Eduard Bazardo only needs to throw 8 pitches for Sunday's perfect shot (he plans to throw again on Wednesday).

When sitting down, train at a speed of 93-96 mph to reach a distance of 97 mph with your fastball.

Bazardo used to sit at a low point in the 90s, but

. His curveball always has excellent spin speed.

"The speed has increased. Everyone knows about stealing, but I believe fastball will make a difference,"

Andrew "AJ" Politi is not in the 40-man lineup, nor has he surpassed the high A, but he may not be behind Bazardo. The 24-year-old is likely to start his season in Double-A Portland or Triple-A Worcester.

He hit one side on Tuesday.

"Good break," Cora said. "Fastball, he is a little wobbly. He seems to be overthrowing it, but you can see the separation. He is one of those guys who have been attacked vertically. The fastball goes up, the ball goes down. This is a good one. He is from the same A window threw it. He is one of the guys who impressed me on the video. Mature and he is also a good athlete. So, it's nice to see."

Keith Law, a potential expert in competitive sports, ranked 15 potential customers of Boliti Boston until 2021, and called him the sleeper of the farm system. "Politi may leap forward this year, if it were not for the global rankings (MLB's top 100 potential customers list), at least it would be among the top ten."

In August last year, the Red Sox acquired Nick Pivetta and Connor Sibor from the Phillies for Brandon Workman and Heath Hembree. Germany (Connor Seabold).

Pivita is expected to become Boston's fifth-biggest starter this season. He will make his 2021 spring training debut on Wednesday.

At the same time, Seabold may end up being the better of the two pitchers.

He cast a scoreless round on Monday.

. Last season, the rightists worked on the alternative training ground at the junior level in the 90s.

Seabold's top job is his substitution. Therefore, Cora points out that adding more speed to the fastball creates a greater separation between the fastball and shifting gears.

"There is a lot of room between fastball and substitutions," Cora said.

Seabold has a chance to make his Major League Baseball debut in 2021. He may become a 4/5 starter in Boston in the next few years.

In the past offseason, the Red Sox unexpectedly abstained from Yairo Munoz—he also unexpectedly cleared the abstention from the organization.

So far, Munoz has won home runs, doubles and three RBIs with 8 points 4-8 in three spring training games. He was one of four players who homered for Boston on Tuesday.

"Yale, he pressed that racket to the middle right corner," Cora said.

The 26-year-old has played 12 games for the Red Sox in 2020 (45 sets), showing a .511 field goal percentage, .844 OPS, 1 home run, 5 doubles, 4 RBI and 6 runs. . His career .278 /.332/.402/.733 appeared in 208 major league games (appeared in 555 sets). Last year, he also saved 4 defensive runs in 56 games on the left field of Boston.

He is one of the top field depth options entering 2021. He will play for Boston sometime this season.

Connor Wong-Boston with Alexander Verdugo and Jeter Downs for the Mookie Betts and David Price-purchased since last year Since spring training, he has made a lot of progress on defense.

Wong's agile hands left a deep impression on Cora. His arms are also very strong, and he is taking the position of catching the ball on one knee.

Cora added: "I really like that communicative skills rank first in his defensive games." "You see him in a canoe talking with Jason (Varitek) and pitchers. For a young young man. It’s eye-opening to be able to do this now."

Ronaldo Hernandez, which Boston acquired from the Rays, has not yet appeared in the spring training game.

Put him in 15th place in Boston. He is only 23 years old and has shown a certain strength among minors like Wong.

Bloom in Wong, Hernandez and even in

The past offseason. Pereda will turn 25 in April, but he has yet to make his debut in the spring of 2021.

Whenever he was asked about him.

After Whitlock's two scoreless games, Cora said: "Things are there. He pays attention to details. Good kids in the clubhouse. Always talk to other pitchers and watch and learn ."

Boston chose Whitlock from the Yankees. He must remain in the active lineup throughout the season (unless IL restrictions are obtained) or he must be sent back to New York.

Whitlock has the long-term potential to become a back-end starter, and if Boston starts with a six-a-side rotation in 2021 instead of a five-a-side rotation, he may win the sixth place in that rotation. This year, he may take on multiple roles, including on-site starter, long mitigator and short mitigator. Boston may use him more as a powder, but he may also get a chance when the Red Sox needs to hit home base with high leverage. His field goal percentage in 2019 was 2.20. The Red Sox think he is the kind of pitcher who can take advantage of on-court transfer.

Tanner Houck has been developing the splitter, which is his third pitch, but it seems to be still in progress, which may cause him to start playing among minors in 2021.

"Keep working so hard that he feels comfortable and confident to attack the area with the area and throw it away when needed, so that he feels satisfied,"

Last year's Boston. But this seems to be his only chance to start 2021 on the opening day roster in Boston is if Boston conducts a six-man rotation. Pivetta, who has no choice, seems to be locked in fifth place.

If the Red Sox adopt a six-a-side rotation, Whitlock and Matt Andreas will be sixth with Hawke.

Downs scored 4 points and 2 4 home runs in 3 spring training games, 3 RBIs, one walk and two strikes. He is Boston's highest prospect in the Bates trade.

Cora talked about Towns' smooth defense and his ability to slow down game defense (although he has made two mistakes so far). The 22-year-old also reminded us of his strength when he hit an opponent's track home run on his first shot.

"He hit that ball in the right place," Cora said. "He did it. Then there was the bat, and the next one was a nice swing in the middle."

In the 2019 high A and double A games, Towns has a .526 shooting percentage, .888 OPS, 24 home runs, 35 doubles and four triples in 119 games (535 sets). Win.
