🚨 New Episode 🚨 @alexspeier.bsky.social ties @jimcallis.bsky.social with his 11th all-time appearance on the SoxProspects.com Podcast. Alex joins @iancundall.bsky.social for a wide-ranging conversation about everything Red Sox, including:

The 40-man roster protection deadline is next month, leading into December's Rule 5 draft. @iancundall.bsky.social takes an early look for us at one tough decision for each MLB organization. www.baseballamerica.com/stories/one-...

On the latest episode of the SoxProspects.com Podcast, @IanCundall.bsky.social and @SPChrisHatfield.bsky.social offer their picks for Position Player and Pitcher of the Year at every level of the Red Sox system. To hear their conversation, tune in here: buff.ly/y9V119X

Incredible performance by José De León in his first MLB appearance since 2023. This was the longest outing of his MLB career and only the second time he’s thrown 6 innings or more. Remarkably, the other time was his MLB debut for the Dodgers, all the way back in September 2016.

Red Sox starter Lucas Giolito’s stuff was down across the board that inning. Every pitch was down at least 2 mph compared to his season average. Something to monitor as this outing goes on.

Really impressive outing from Red Sox LHP Kyle Harrison: 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 5 K. 86p/60s. Ability to locate fastball was the key. FB zone% & whiff% were both higher than during his time in Worcester. That efficiency allowed him to work 6 innings for the first time since 7/22.

🚨 New Episode 🚨 @IanCundall.bsky.social and @SPChrisHatfield.bsky.social (remember him?) discuss Boston's playoff outlook and whether Luis Perales (SP60: #3) can contribute before the end. Listen to the SoxProspects.com Podcast: buff.ly/Ws5J47C

Here’s video of every pitch from Red Sox RHP Luis Perales’s electric debut tonight for Worcester: 1 IP, 3 K. 11 pitches/10 strikes.

Red Sox RHP Luis Perales struck out the side in his Triple-A debut, on 11 pitches, without throwing a single fastball. He got 2 strikeouts on sliders & 1 on a changeup. Overall, he threw 5 cutters, 3 sliders & 2 changeups. CT 90-92, SL 86-88 & CH 83-84. 5 whiffs: 3 CT, 1 CH, 1 SL

Red Sox OF Jhostynxon Garcia was removed from the game after the bottom of the 4th here in Worcester. He beat out an infield 1B & then went first to third, but didn’t come out in the top of the 5th. Didn’t notice anything when he was running the bases, but something to monitor.

Red Sox RHP Luis Perales worked around a walk in his 1st inning back with Portland since TJ surgery. He threw 16 pitches total, 8 for strikes. Fastball was 97-100 on the stadium gun & cutter was 91-93. Also showed slider & splitter. LHH: F7 on 3-2 FB RHH: BB on 3-1 CT RHH: 6-4-3 on 1-2 SL

🚨New Episode🚨 @iancundall.bsky.social discusses the latest on Connelly Early, Payton Tolle, and an interesting crop of prospects headed to the Arizona Fall League. Listen to the SoxProspects.com Podcast: news.soxprospects.com/2025/09/podc...

🚨 New Episode 🚨 @IanCundall.bsky.social is joined by @GeoffPontesBA.bsky.social to breakdown everything Payton Tolle. They discuss: - Tolle's Major League debut - Where he ranks on the list of top left-handed pitching prospects in baseball - What his future looks like in Boston

Payton Tolle hasn’t thrown more than 72 pitches since June 28th, so it’s understandable to see him tire in the 6th. Still a very impressive major league debut: 5.1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 8 K. 84p/51s. 14 whiffs: 9 fastball, 2 cutter, 2 changeup, 1 slider.

The development of Payton Tolle’s cutter this year has been remarkable. When I saw him in spring he didn’t even throw it & in Greenville it blended w/his slider. Fast forward a few months & he has the confidence in it to use it twice to start an AB w/2 runners in scoring position

🚨 New Episode Alert 🚨 @iancundall.bsky.social is flying solo to discuss The Password's promotion, potential replacements to Walker Buehler in Boston's rotation, and his trip to Worcester. Listen to the latest episode of the SoxProspects.com Podcast: buff.ly/sxgYl2c

Dominant outing from Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle tonight: 5 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K. 63p/45s. FB 95-98, CT 88-91, CH 88-90, SL 84-87, CB 83-84. 12 whiffs: 5 FB, 3 CT, 2 SL, 2 CH. Best I’ve seen his secondaries look this year. Had everything working. Showed why he’s in contention for an MLB call up.

Payton Tolle strikes out the side in the 3rd, after striking out the last 2 batters in the 2nd. He’s has 6 Ks total w/the only hit an infield 2B. FB up to 98.6 & showing best cutter I’ve seen from this year. Also missed bats w/his SL & CH. Here’s an 87 mph SL to end the 3rd.

New Red Sox OF Jhostynxon Garcia has a power over hit profile w/considerable impact ability. Definite contact questions, mostly vs. RHP, but he crushes LHP (.964 OPS in ‘25/1.186 in ‘24). W/Refsnyder on the IL he could fill that role. Full scouting report: soxprospects.com/players/garc...

Is Payton Tolle an option for the Red Sox down the stretch? @iancundall.bsky.social and @spchrishatfield.bsky.social discuss on the latest episode of the SoxProspects.com Podcast. Listen: buff.ly/wXHkF9H

Final line for Worcester RHP David Sandlin in his 2nd appearance in short relief: 2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K. Dominant 6th, but gave up 3 straight hits to start 7th. Inconsistent command cost him, but saved by HR robbery. 5 whiffs: 3 FB, 1 CT, 1 SL FB 96-99 CT 91-93 SL 85-88

Strong rehab outing for Toronto RHP Shane Bieber in Worcester: 5.2 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 HR. 78p/54s. FB 92-94, CT 87-89, SL 84-86, CB 82-84, CH 88-90. In control throughout & commanded entire arsenal. Slider was really good, 47% whiff rate (8 on 17 swings). 14 whiffs total

Red Sox RHP David Sandlin, pitching in short relief for the second time, finishes a 1-2-3 6th with a 99.2 mph fastball for a swinging strikeout.

Inconsistent outing for Worcester RHP Richard Fitts: 4 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 8 K , 1 HR. 86p/53s. FB 92-95 T96, CH 85-88, SL 86-87, SW 82-85, CB 79-81. 13 whiffs, but struggled to locate FB & gave up some loud contact. CH effective vs. LHH. Sweeper flashed, but lacked consistency.

Red Sox RHP Alex Hoppe closed things out for Worcester tonight & sat 99-100 w/a cutter 92-93 & SL 88-89. Rule 5 eligible this winter. Has always had premium velo, but struggled to consistently throw strikes. Tonight was his 6th straight scoreless outing: 7 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 8 K

Worcester OF Jhostynxon Garcia was having a quiet night until his 5th AB when he drove an 88 mph CH out to LF for a HR. Fell behind 1-2, but battled back to 3-2. There, he got a mistake pitch up in the zone & lined it just inside the foul pole with an exit velocity of 106.9 mph.

Solid outing for Red Sox LHP Connelly Early tonight: 5 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 7 K. 79p/52s. 9 whiffs. CH best pitch. Limited hard contact other than HR on hanging CH. Velo ticked down as game went on, but secondaries got more effective. FB 92-96 CT 87-90 CH 81-85 SL 83-86 CB 79-82

Red Sox RHP Tyler Uberstine closed out the game for Worcester: 4 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 K. 64p/38s. 4S 94-96, sinker 92-94, CT 87-88, CH 85-88, SL 82-85. Both FBs missed bats. 4S up & sinker down. Advanced feel for CH. Throws CH in any count & to both RHH & LHH. 11 whiffs total.

Kyle Harrison is still a work in progress, but today was a step in the right direction. FB will miss bats, but command needs work, especially glove-side. He also needs to find bat missing secondary. Inability to efficiently put hitters away led to 2 of 3 walks & several long ABs.

Impressive start for Red Sox LHP Kyle Harrison: 5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 7 K. 99p/61s. FB 92-96, CT 86-89, SW 79-83, CH 86-89. FB was really good. 29% whiff today which would rank 4th among MLB LHP (min 300 4s). Cutter & breaking ball also effective. Only one hard hit ball all game.

🚨 New Episode Alert 🚨 @iancundall.bsky.social and @spchrishatfield.bsky.social react as the Tolle promotion news drops mid-recording. How does he factor into Boston's plans down the stretch? Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts: news.soxprospects.com/2025/08/podc...

Red Sox IF Kristian Campbell extends his hitting streak to 10 games with a line drive single to left field. Nice job pulling his hands in, on a 96 mph fastball from Andrew Painter, to drive in the first Worcester run of the game.

Red Sox IF Kristian Campbell seems to be getting back on track in Worcester. He demolished a hanging breaking ball to LF for a HR in the 1st today - 104.3 mph EV, 386 feet. This extended his hitting streak to eight games. Since July 19th (31 PA): .407/.484/.667, 13% BB, 23% K

Red Sox LHP Payton Tolle impressed again tonight: 5 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 69p/48s. Since his promotion to Portland, he’s thrown 23 innings and allowed only 12 hits with 31 K:5 BB. Continued dominance from the soon to be top prospect in the @soxprospects.com rankings.

Take that, @alexspeier.bsky.social! Seriously though, it's always fun talking Red Sox with @iancundall.bsky.social & @spchrishatfield.bsky.social. And their @soxprospects.com site is a tremendous resource!

Pearson said the Sox had Kyson Witherspoon in their top 10, ranking him as the top college RHP in the draft.
