Kyle Teel, a former Red Sox catching prospect, is making a strong impression with the Charlotte Knights after being traded to the Chicago White Sox for Garrett Crochet. The 23-year-old, drafted 14th overall in 2023, has performed exceptionally well in his brief Triple-A appearances, hitting .500 with two home runs and nine RBIs. Teel's strong performance has drawn attention, reminding fans of his potential. His small success contrasts with a teammate's success in Boston, while Teel awaits his opportunity to return to the majors.
I have a lot of fun playing the game with this group of guys. Gotta give credit to our pitching staff tonight. They did a hell of a job, and one through nine, we hit the ball well.
Teel was projected to become the next great Red Sox catcher, but with the inevitable unpredictability that comes with professional baseball's business side, that plan changed - slightly.
Teel has only logged three appearances with the Charlotte Knights - the White Sox's Triple-A affiliate - and it's been enough for Teel to raise eyebrows similarly to when he was climbing the minor league ladder as a Red Sox prospect.
Teel, the current No. 32 prospect in baseball, went deep during Charlotte's 12-4 victory over the Gwinnett Stripers on Saturday night and drove in a career-high six runs, finishing a triple shy of hitting for the cycle.
