Rafael Devers, ranked by MLBPipeline.com as the Red Sox’s No. 3 prospect and the 17th best prospect overall, was named the organization’s Minor League defensive player of the year for his impressive numbers at third base for Class A Advanced Salem.
The 19-year-old committed only 15 errors over 117 games for the Salem Red Sox, leading Carolina Leaguers in fielding percentage (.960), putouts (104) and assists (258).
