12 former Red Sox draftees selected in 2017 Draft
MLB teams re-drafted 12 former Red Sox selections in the 2017 June draft. This is up from 11 re-draftees in 2016, and nine in 2015. Two prominent 2017 first-rounders, David Peterson and Jeren Kendall, had been drafted in the later rounds of the 2014 draft by the Red Sox during their senior high school seasons. Jordan Wren, son of Red Sox Senior VP of Baseball Operations, was drafted once again by Boston, this time in the 10th round after turning them down as a junior and 36th round selection in last year's draft.
