No. 14: Infielder Maximus Martin
Maximus Martin, a 2025 Draft pick, slashed .270/.381/.371 with six doubles and one home run between Single-A and High-A. The right-handed hitter drove in 14 runs, scored 13 more, and stole six bases.
Martin has a decent hit tool. He needs to improve his strikeout rate (32.4%), although it was in a small sample size. The 22-year-old also drew plenty of walks (13.3%), helping to boost his OBP. He has legitimate power potential that would play anywhere, but it really pops for a middle infielder. He has enough speed to leg out plenty of doubles and steal a few bases, but it’s not a major part of his game.
Martin looked good at both shortstop and second base. He even got time in the outfield (center and left field). That versatility will help keep him on the field as he climbs through the majors. I think he’ll stick in the infield, though. The good news is, his arm will play where he’s at on the field.
Martin is the type of prospect who could fly through the levels if his power shines through. He’s going to be fun to watch in 2026.

No. 13: Outfielder Yophery Rodriguez
Yophery Rodriguez was another part of that Quinn Priester trade. His overall numbers in 2025 don’t look all that impressive. The left-handed hitter slashed .221/.316/.341 with 18 doubles, seven triples, and five home runs. He drove in 48 runs, scored 47 more, and stole 10 bases in 104 games in High-A.
It’s important to remember that he spent the year as a 19-year-old with just 110 games of experience in Single-A before this season. He was also traded to a new team after three games in 2025. It’s not surprising that he didn’t put up ridiculous numbers.
Rodriguez also passed the eye test. He worked counts (11.9% walk rate) and didn’t strike out too much (18.8% K rate). There’s not a lot of power in his bat, he’s more of a slap hitter. However, there was some gap power that would show up randomly.
Rodriguez isn’t the fastest player, but he has enough speed and uses it well. He had some highlights on the base paths, and his speed was helpful in the outfield.
Greenville had the privilege of boasting an outfield that featured Rodriguez, Miguel Bleis, and Nelly Taylor. Unlucky offenses didn’t see much land between those three. Rodriguez showcased a good glove and solid arm, making quite a few web gems in 2025.
Rodriguez's future in Boston is unclear, as the Red Sox are so loaded in the outfield. Rodriguez is raw and still a few years from the majors, so things could have solved themselves by then. He has the chance to be a very good defensive outfielder who swipes 15-plus bases, puts up incredibly strong OBPs, and maybe can add a bit of power to his game.

No. 12: Shortstop Henry Godbout
Henry Godbout had about as good a first impression as you could ask for in 2025. The 75th overall selection in this year’s draft, Godbout slashed .341/.473/.477 with six doubles in High-A. He drove in five runs, scored six more, and stole one base in 13 games. Godbout drew more walks (9) than he struck out (6).
There are clearly strong bat-to-ball skills from Godbout. Like Mason White, he has a perfect swing for the Red Sox and Driveline to work with and help him add some exit velocity/power to his game. For now, it’s mainly gap power, but don’t be shocked if they work their magic with him.
Defensively, we didn’t get to see too much. He appeared in six games at second base and three at shortstop. Godbout made all the routine plays, as well as a few nice ones, and didn’t commit any errors. At 6’2”, 190 lbs, he has the frame to be able to stick in the middle infield. His arm looked good at both shortstop and second base.
Godbout has decent athleticism and speed. He’ll steal some bases, hit plenty of doubles (and some triples), and cover ground in the infield.
Godbout isn’t going to strike out. He’ll draw some walks, and he’ll hit for average. If Boston can get his power up (which again, his swing works for its program), it has something in Godbout.

No. 11: Right-handed pitcher Yordanny Monegro
Yordanny Monegro was on his way to becoming a legitimate name in the prospect community before an injury ended his season in June. Mongero posted a 2.67 ERA, .250 BAA, and 1.19 WHIP in nine appearances (eight starts) in Double-A. He struck out 49 batters compared to just eight walks in 33 2/3 innings.
The right-handed pitcher has constantly been doubted, with people wondering if he’d succeed at the next level of the minor leagues, but he just keeps succeeding. If Monegro didn’t miss half the season (and is set to miss most of 2026), he’d be higher on this list.
The 23-year-old has a low-to-mid 90s fastball, which is likely his worst pitch. If Monegro fills out (he's currently 6’4”, 180 lbs), he could add some velocity and help the pitch.
His changeup looked better this year. It can be flat at times, but sits in the high-80s, and the drop seemed to confuse hitters. Monegro’s curveball is still strong. Maybe not as consistently dominant as it once was, but he can still buckle hitters with it. The curveball works around 80 MPH and has a devastating break to it when it’s at its best.
Finally, he has a slider that is more consistent than his curveball, but doesn’t have the same game-breaking ability. It’s a mid-to-high 80s pitch with not as pronounced a break as the curveball, but it still can bite. Monegro probably has the best command of this pitch.
Monegro looked electric last season, even in his lone bullpen outing. I still firmly believe he could be a legitimate middle-of-the-rotation arm or a fan-favorite reliever. He plays with flair and passion that gets the fans and his teammates into it, and gets under the skin of his opponents.

No. 10: Outfielder Enddy Azocar
Enddy Azocar is the perfect example of “eye test tells the true story.” His on-paper stats aren’t wowing anyone, but you can fall in love with him easily if you watch him play.
The right-handed hitter slashed .202/.273/.314 with nine doubles, one triple, and six home runs in 71 games in Single-A. He drove in 26 runs, scored 34 more, and stole 11 bases. Listed at 6’2”, 168 lb, there’s plenty of filling out that Azocar can do. Adding mass and muscle could give him more power potential.
I really like Azocar’s swing when he connects, but the contact isn’t always perfect. He’s already showing decent power, and there’s room to grow there.
Azocar has serious speed, which helps him on the base paths and in the outfield. He’s a plus-defender with a plus arm. All of that should help Azocar stay on the right path as he continues to improve his offense.
Azocar is one of the most raw position player prospects on this list. The 18-year-old shouldn’t be considered a “can’t miss” prospect, but he might reach that point this year if things go right.
