Marcelo Mayer, highly regarded as part of the Red Sox's top three prospects, faces challenges with injuries despite showing strong performance in the minor leagues. Roman Anthony praises Mayer's talent, calling him a potential star. While Kristian Campbell has made it to the big leagues first, Mayer's pedigree from being the fourth overall pick in the 2021 draft adds to the expectations around him. Mayer's recent health improvements lead to optimism as he enters the 2025 season ranked 12th among MLB prospects, demonstrating his skill with a solid batting average in prior seasons.
"It's been funny to see the narrative kind of shift on him over the last two years. But I've always said, he's a stud, and he's gonna play in the big leagues for a long time."
"The issue for Mayer, at times, has just been staying on the field. A nagging shoulder injury hindered Mayer's production in his first taste of Double-A competition with Portland in 2023."
