The made their second pick of Major League Baseball's 2021 amateur draft on Monday. As with their first-round selection of Oilers Blank Jersey Marcelo Mayer at No. 4 on Sunday night, the Red Sox went with a well-known player (or, as well known as baseball draftees can be, anyway) who had slipped down boards by taking Florida outfielder Jud Fabian with the 40th overall pick.Coming into the draft cycle, Fabian appeared to be the best collegiate hitter in the cla s. Alas, he started Evan Bouchard Jersey off the season poorly by swinging and mi sing too often for anyone's comfort. That caused his stock to slip, not only Brian Ferlin Women Jersey outside of the top 10, but beyond the first round. CBS Sports still ranked him as the 41st-best player available in the draft. :Fabian entered the season ranked as the third-best prospect in the cla s. He had an impre sive track record against SEC competition; he was young for a college junior; and scouts foresaw him having Darnell Nurse Men Jersey plus power. Then Fabian, a wrong-way guy (he bats right, throws left), went well, the wrong way. He punched out in 29.4 percent of his regular season plate appearances, including 36 percent of those he took in February and March. He made several mechanical tweaks thereafter, and he went on to strike out at a more modest clip (24.7 percent) the rest of the way.Fabian, it should be noted, hit .249/.364/.560 with 20 home runs and six stolen bases (on James Neal Jersey eight tries) for the Gators this season. He's likely to begin his career Mark Fayne Men Jersey in center field, and it's po sible that he reaches the majors in that capacity. As mentioned in the introduction, the Red Sox used their first pick on Mayer, who CBS Sports ranked as the top player available in this year's cla s.
