The article highlights the atmosphere of Spring training for the Red Sox, focusing on the interaction between legends like David Ortiz and young prospects such as Roman Anthony. With past star Luis Tiant missing, Ortiz could take on the mentorship role, guiding players like Masataka Yoshida and Kristian Campbell. The article also addresses challenges faced by the team, particularly concerning catcher Connor Wong's defensive skills, and how new pitcher Aroldis Chapman could influence pitching velocities, potentially breaking their trend of not throwing 100 MPH pitches.
With El Tiante gone, maybe it's David Ortiz who will assume the mantle. He's already made a big impression on Roman Anthony.
For the past two seasons, the Red Sox have been the only team in Major League Baseball that failed to throw a single 100 MPH pitch.
