5 Prospects to Watch in the MLB Futures Game
Rafael Devers, 3B, Boston Red Sox
Devers slots into the top 10 in both of the aforementioned prospects lists, and he's putting on a show this year in Double-A.
Across 313 plate appearances, he's launched 18 homers with a 9.3% walk rate and .407 wOBA. It's worth noting that after swiping 18 bags in High-A last season, he has yet to steal a base this year, but that's about the only negative here.
The Boston Red Sox have been ultra-patient with Devers, letting him spend full seasons at High-A (2016) and Low-A (2015) over the past two years, but with a glaring hole at third, Devers may be in The Show very soon.
