You can follow the Red Sox draft with us at SoxProspects.com as the picks come in, as we’ll have live coverage of Boston’s selections on SoxProspects News, the 2025 Draft page, and the @SoxProspects Twitter account. For now, here's a preview of some potential first round and local draft picks to whet your palette. 

First Round (#15 overall)

Gavin Kilen, 2B, Tennessee – drafted by the Red Sox out of high school in 2022. Contact hitter, solid defensively at second base. 

Brendan Summerhill, OF, Arizona – potential five-tool right fielder.

Ike Irish, OF/C, Auburn – high-end college bat spent most of 2025 in right field but has the tools to potentially develop into an average backstop.

Marek Houston, SS, Wake Forest – plus defender with an average to better bat and above-average speed.

Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC Santa Barbara – three potential plus pitches in his fastball, slider, and changeup. Slider needs work to get there. Solid control. Medium build.

Wehiwa Aloy, SS, Arkansas – middle infielder with a solid bat and impressive power. Needs to prove himself against breaking pitches. Not overly athletic. 

Luke Stevenson, C, North Carolina – solid defender with a plus arm. Below-average hit tool but has some juice in his bat when he makes contact. Potential below slot option.

Gavin Fien, 3B, Great Oak (CA) – Toolsy prep player committed to Texas. Unclear what position he might play at the pro level.
