The Red Sox kicked off the back half of the 2026 MLB First-Year Player Draft by selecting three college pitchers, one college position player, and one high school position player.

Here are brief recaps of selections 11 through 15:

11. Wills Maginnis, SS, Georgia State

Webster was taken with the 364th overall pick out of Oak Hills High School in Oak Hills, Calif. A two-sport athlete who also played football, Webster is currently committed to Loyola Marymount University.
