With the 204th overall pick the Red Sox selected 1B Anthony Rizzo out of Douglas HS in Parkland, FL. Rizzo's top tool is his lefthanded plus raw power, he has demonstrated the ability to handle high-velocity pitching and has had success with a wooden bat. Will most likely stay at first base but is regarded as an above-average defender and a good athlete for his size (6'3" 220 lbs.).
