Here are four under the radar Red Sox players standing out in spring training

"Braiden Ward has been an exciting player to watch run bases this spring. The 27-year-old has registered 10 hits and a whopping 12 stolen bases in 12 spring training games. No other Red Sox has more than two steals, and Ward himself accounts for 50 percent of Boston's steals as a team."

"Ferguson has spent the past two seasons hovering between Portland and Worcester in the Red Sox pipeline, but is showing some promise this spring. He hit a grand slam earlier in spring training, and as a result leads all Red Sox in RBIs (7). He also added a double, and has an OPS of .821 in 17 at bats."

"Having Gasper back on the Red Sox as a depth option at catcher could be valuable this season. Carlos Narvaez exceeded expectations in 2025, but the high workload seemed to affect his offensive output down the stretch."

The Boston Red Sox entered spring training with an unsettled 40-man roster following a relatively quiet offseason. While certain starting lineup positions are beginning to solidify, roster depth remains a concern that could create opportunities for under-the-radar prospects. Several players have capitalized on their chances this spring, including Braiden Ward, who leads the team with 12 stolen bases in 12 games; Max Ferguson, who hit a grand slam and leads in RBIs with 7; and Mickey Gasper, returning as a depth catcher option. These performances demonstrate how a quiet offseason can open doors for minor league players to earn consideration for rotational roster spots.
