Kyle Teel Launches Eighth Long Ball Of The Season
5 months agoBoston Red Sox catching prospect Kyle Teel went 2-for-4 with his eighth home run of the season in the opening game of a doubleheader on Friday. Through 54 games at Double-A Portland, the 14th overall pick in last year's draft has performed very well with a .313/.405/.493 slash line with 45 RBI and five stolen bases. Teel progressed through the lower levels of the minors very quickly last summer as he started in the Rookie League and ended by logging nine games at Double-A. Through this 26-game stretch, the Virginia product posted a .363/.482/.495 line with two home runs and 22 RBI. Teel is considered the 29th-best prospect in baseball and third in Boston on MLB Pipeline. He is projected to make his major league debut next summer but could push for a late-season call-up, especially due to how well he has performed in the minors over his first two seasons.
