Early look at Red Sox prospect All-Stars: Third Base

Chase Meidroth (AA, Portland)

When Boston took Chase Meidroth in the 4th round of the 2022 draft as a second baseman, no one really knew what to expect as there was a log-jam of players at the position. Instead, Meidroth took on a new position - third base.

Meidroth has been riding the position for the last two years, and has taken that ride all the way up to Double-A Portland in not even two years. According to Fangraphs.com, his ETA with the Red Sox is 2027, but given his meteoric rise - and numbers this season - it may be a bit sooner than that.

In 2023 alone, he has hit .320 with five home runs, and 26 RBI. In addition to surpassing his home run and RBI totals from last season, he has also surpassed his total bases number from last year as well as he now sits at 68 to last year's 41. Meidroth may be flying under the radar for now, but it won't be long before he becomes a household name.

Honorable Mentions: *Bobby Dalbec (AAA), Matthew Lugo (AA), Blaze Jordan (High-A), Ryan Fitzgerald (AAA), Nick Sogard (AAA).
