The Red Sox have made plain their desire to load up on young pitching talent, and put their money where their mouth was, selecting 15 arms out of 21 picks in the 2025 MLB Draft.

Boston also went heavy on college talent, taking just one high school player, in the 19th round.

Red Sox director of amateur scouting Devin Pearson said the college-heavy class wasn’t intentional and was a product of how the draft played out, but that they were happy to land a lot of the pitchers they’d had circled on their board.

As for what they were looking for out of those arms? It wasn’t hard to see a clear trend emerge.

“Big frame, big velo and stuff,” Pearson said. “That’s kind of how we prioritized pitchers as we worked throughout the draft and we certainly got a lot of those guys.”

Here is a snapshot of each member of this year’s Red Sox draft class.

1-15: Kyson Witherspoon, RHP, Oklahoma

Regarded as the top college right-hander available leading into the draft by most major outlets. A First Team All-American at Oklahoma this past spring, the 6-foot-2, 206-pound righty boasts a fastball that peaks at 99 mph along with four intriguing complementary pitches. He is the first pitcher taken by the Sox in the first round since Tanner Houck in 2017.

CBA-33: Marcus Phillips, RHP, Tennessee

A hard-throwing right-hander who has cut his teeth against some of the nation’s best in the SEC. The South Dakota native is 6-foot-4, 246 pounds and has hit 101 mph on the radar gun. Served as a reliever on Tennessee’s national championship team in 2024 before breaking out as the Volunteers’ No. 2 starter this past spring.

2C-75: Henry Godbout, 2B, Virginia

An elite contact hitter, the Red Sox have been keeping an eye on Godbout since high school. The Virginia infielder was a Second Team All-American as a sophomore after batting .372 with a 1.117 OPS, and this past spring followed that up by hitting .309 with an .895 OPS.

3-87: Anthony Eyanson, RHP, LSU

Another accomplished SEC starting pitcher, Eyanson was third in Division 1 with 152 strikeouts in 108 innings while helping lead LSU to a national championship. The 20-year-old boasts a wipeout slider along with a solid mid-90s fastball, and prior to transferring to LSU pitched two seasons at UC San Diego.

4-118: Mason White, SS, Arizona

A three-year starter at Arizona with prodigious power from the left side of the plate is coming off a junior season in which he hit 20 home runs with 73 RBI while batting .327 with a 1.101 OPS. He hit 49 home runs in three college seasons and projects as a bat-first middle infielder.

5-148: Christian Foutch, RHP, Arkansas

Foutch becomes the fourth SEC right-hander taken by the Red Sox through the club’s first six picks. At 6-foot-3, 240 pounds, Foutch is an imposing presence who boasts a high-90s fastball that has touched 100 mph. He primarily served as a relief pitcher in college.

6-178: Leighton Finley, RHP, Georgia

Another SEC righty, Finley spent the last two seasons starting for Georgia and is coming off a junior season in which he struck out 83 batters in 68.2 inning while posting a 4.85 ERA. He’s 6-foot-5, 226 pounds and generally sits in the mid-90s, though his fastball has registered as high as 98 mph.

7-208: Myles Patton, LHP, Texas A&M

The Red Sox go back to the SEC again, this time for their first left-hander of the draft. Patton had a terrific sophomore season at Long Beach State, striking out 85 in 66.1 innings, but had a rocky transition after transferring to Texas A&M, posting a 5.26 ERA with 82 strikeouts in 77 innings.

8-238: Dylan Brown, LHP, Old Dominion

Brown is another big body at 6-foot-5, 230 pounds who has consistently overpowered opposing hitters the last two seasons at ODU. This past spring he struck out 102 batters in 82 innings while posting a 4.06 ERA and is generally regarded as a good strike-thrower.

9-268: Jacob Mayers, RHP, LSU

The 6-foot-5 Mayers becomes the second member of national champion LSU’s pitching staff drafted by the Red Sox. He’s a reliever whose fastball has hit 102 mph but who has struggled with his command, striking out 26 while walking 20 in just 15 innings this past spring.

10-298: Maximus Martin, SS, Kansas St.

A New Jersey native, Martin played at three different schools before wrapping up his college career with a fantastic junior season at Kansas St. The 6-foot infielder batted .320 this spring with 14 home runs, 54 RBI and a 1.031 OPS.
