A neon-hued expressionist painting captures the raw power and energy of Red Sox pitching prospect Anthony Eyanson's dominant outing.Torrance TodayBoston Red Sox pitching prospect Anthony Eyanson, the team's 3rd round pick in 2025, turned in a dominant outing for High-A Greenville, striking out 7 batters over 4.1 perfect innings. The 21-year-old right-hander, who has touched 100 mph on his fastball, has racked up 13 strikeouts over 7.1 innings to start the season.
Why it matters
The Red Sox have made restocking their farm system with high-upside pitching a priority under chief baseball officer Craig Breslow. Eyanson's early success is an encouraging sign that their strategy is paying off, as they look to develop the next wave of impact arms for their big-league rotation.
The details
In his start on Saturday, Eyanson struck out the first batter he faced on three pitches and ended the inning with another punchout. Overall, the 6-foot-2 right-hander threw 34 of his 54 pitches for strikes and generated 11 swings and misses. Eyanson features a mid-90s fastball that has touched 97 mph, as well as a potential plus curveball and a developing splitter.
- Eyanson was drafted by the Red Sox in the 3rd round (87th overall) of the 2025 MLB Draft.
- This offseason, Eyanson trained at Beimel Elite Athletics in Torrance, California, where his fastball sat in the mid-90s and touched 97 mph.
- Through two starts this season, Eyanson has allowed just one run over 7.1 innings, while striking out 13 batters.
The players
Anthony Eyanson
A 21-year-old right-handed pitching prospect in the Boston Red Sox organization, ranked as the team's #10 prospect by MLB Pipeline. Eyanson was drafted by the Red Sox in the 3rd round of the 2025 MLB Draft after a successful college career at LSU.
Craig Breslow
The chief baseball officer for the Boston Red Sox, who has made restocking the team's farm system with high-upside pitching a priority since taking over the role three years ago.
Juan Valera
A 19-year-old right-handed pitching prospect in the Boston Red Sox organization, ranked as the team's #5 prospect by Baseball America. Valera regularly touches 100 mph on his fastball and is currently pitching for High-A Greenville.
What’s next
Eyanson's dominant start will likely earn him a promotion to Double-A Portland in the near future, as the Red Sox look to continue his rapid development.
The takeaway
The Red Sox's commitment to restocking their farm system with high-upside pitching prospects is paying dividends, as Eyanson and fellow flamethrower Juan Valera are emerging as two of the team's most exciting young arms.
