Red Sox select Myles Patton with seventh-round pick
Originally from Long Beach, California, the 6-foot-3, 205-pound pitcher spent two years at hometown Long Beach State and was an all-Big West honorable mention player in 2024 before heading to College Station for his junior season. That sophomore campaign was his best, as he had a strikeout rate exceeding 30 percent with a 3.26 ERA.
A back injury ended his season prematurely and while he stayed healthy in 2025, he posted a 5.26 ERA, but still struck out more than a batter per inning (82 in 77 innings) and had strong walk numbers, issuing just 17 free passes.
Patton was unranked by MLB Pipeline and ESPN.

The full slot value for this choice is $285,200.
