Richard Fitts, who turns 24 later this month, wears that label almost immediately as he slots in as the No. 10 overall prospect in the Red Sox farm system by MLB Pipeline and the organization's second-best pitching prospect only behind Wikelman Gonzalez.
The Red Sox have highly touted prospects in their system, but nearly all of them are position players, leaving them in need of youthful arms they could potentially lean on in the future.
Fitts may never be a big-league star, but he could develop into a reliable starter in the back-half of the rotation, especially with his ability to consistently pound the strike zone.
