It was another great week for one of the fastest-rising prospects in baseball: Boston Red Sox 2025 third-round pick Anthony Eyanson. The 21-year-old righty dominated in his latest start for the Double-A Portland Sea Dogs, earning himself yet another Minor League honor.
Eyanson made his second start for Portland on April 19, taking on the Double-A affiliate for the Philadelphia Phillies and continuing the dominant start to his professional career. Eyanson threw five no-hit innings in the Sea Dogs' 2-0 win. The 21-year-old struck out four batters but walked three before being pulled after just 59 pitches. According to Rotoballer's Eric Cross, Eyanson's fastball sat in the 92-94 mph. range, topping out at 95 mph On Monday night, Eyanson was named the Eastern League Pitcher of the Week for his performance.
The Red Sox selected Eyanson with their third-round pick in the 2025 draft out of Louisiana State University (LSU). He made his professional debut in High-A Greenville to start the 2026 season, quickly dominating the level. In five starts for the Drive, Eyanson posted a 0.44 ERA, striking out batters at a ridiculous 47.9 percent rate.
Eyanson's incredible start to the season earned him a quick promotion to Double-A. The right-hander performed well in his first start at the level, allowing one run on three hits while striking out four and walking one across four innings of work.
Across seven starts at both levels, Eyanson has posted a 0.61 ERA, allowing opponents to hit just .106 against him, while striking out 41.6 percent of batters. After the hot start, Eyanson has skyrocketed up prospect rankings. In Baseball America's latest update to their top 100, Eyanson was ranked No. 48, while SoxProspects.com now has him as the third-best prospect in the Boston organization.
After Payton Tolle's rapid ascension through the minor league ranks in 2025, there's no telling how far Eyanson's rise through the ranks will carry him.
According to 7News' Ari Alexander, shortstop Louis Andujar has been promoted to Single-A Salem after a fantastic stateside debut in the Florida Coast League. After being named the FCL Hitter of the Week for May 11-17, the 18-year-old continued his hot streak, hitting .404/.483/.731 with three home runs in 15 games for the FCL Red Sox. Andujar is currently unranked by SoxProspects.
Red Sox 2025 first-round pick Kyson Witherspoon posted one of the best starts of his professional career on Sunday afternoon for High-A Greenville. The 21-year-old struck out six, allowing one run on two hits across 4.1 innings. Witherspoon has struggled in his professional debut, posting a 6.46 ERA in eight starts.
Finally, according to Beyond The Monster's Hunter Noll, the Red Sox are promoting OF Enddy Azocar to High-A Greenville. The 19-year-old outfielder hit .295/.344/.530 in 39 games with Single-A Salem. Azocar is currently the No. 12 prospect in the Red Sox organization.
Meanwhile, back in Boston, the Red Sox will look to bounce back after being swept by the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday night when they will open a three-game set with the Atlanta Braves. Ranger Suarez (2-2, 2.40 ERA) will get the start for Boston opposite Spencer Strider (2-0, 3.00 ERA) for Atlanta. First pitch from Fenway set for 6:45 p.m. ET.
