Reliever: Nick Duron – GCL Red Sox
(1-0, 0.82 ERA, 14 K, 11 IP)
A big (6’ 4”, 190) right-hander drafted in 2015 out of Clark Community College in the 31st round. The 19-year-old started out in the GCL and has been a force in the GCL in his 10 games with an ERA of 1.10, WHIP at 0.92 and two saves.
What does get attention on Duron’s stat chart is the 23 K’s and only three walks allowed. Too bad this is the GCL and not Pawtucket as Duron would be in Boston.
Sox Prospects and MLB Prospects do not have Duron ranked – yet.
