Building a strong farm system with homegrown pitching talent is a key focus for the Boston Red Sox.
The Red Sox have seen success with pitchers like Wikelman Gonzalez, Luis Perales, Zach Penrod, Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz, and Jedixon Paez.
Injuries on the big-league team have created opportunities for young pitchers like Josh Winckowski and Richard Fitts to contribute.
The Red Sox are strategically developing pitching talent from the farm system to potentially strengthen the rotation at the big-league level.
