#RedSox prospect Franklin Primera slashed .367/.499/.581 in 340 PA between the Complex Level and Low-A this season.
That's the highest MiLB OBP (min 300 PA) in over a decade.
The Red Sox have a 106 wRC+ since April 26th, good for 6th in MLB! 👏
Boston's hitting coach John Soteropulos joins BK to talk about their approach at the plate and how it varies based on the situation.
“It's highly individual... How you get guys to their performance on the field is very, very specific.” 🗣️
@RedSox hitting coach John Soteropulos broke down his process helping to develop Boston's hitters.
Red Sox prospect Franklin Primera DOMINATED the Florida Complex League ⤵️
Primera was the FCL’s purest hitter, and he departed the league carrying a .427/.549/.718 line over 32 games. He produced those numbers through improved bat speed and sound swing decisions, which resulted in a player scouts believe can be at least an average hitter with plus power.

Only seven Red Sox homegrown right-handed hitters have had 20+ home run seasons since 2007. Boston has had difficulty developing RHH power. But that narrative might be changing. The Sox have nine prospects w/ 10 or more homers are right-handed hitters:

I couldn’t be happier to announce that I will a MiLB hitting coach for the Boston Red Sox in 2026.
@DrivelineBB I am forever grateful for the chance you gave me. It’s been a pleasure.
Bet on yourself, and it just might pay off. #DuckBoats#PortlandSeaDogs
Meanwhile, this is what we’re looking at for former @DrivelineBB hitting coaches next season
3 MLB Hitting Coaches
4 in Director level positions
4 in Coordinator roles
2 AAA Hitting Coaches
2 AA Hitting Coaches
Many others throughout the rest of MiLB and college baseball with more Orgs constantly reaching out about our staff.
That doesn’t happen being “one dimensional”, what we do works whether you like it or not.
Overvaluing bat speed isn’t a good idea. Will definitely lead to lower BAs and higher Ks. Basically making hitters “one dimensional”. Not a good product when hitters swing for HRs every damn pitch. Hitters aren’t made in labs.
@MLB@DrivelineBB
Grateful for the opportunity to join the Boston Red Sox as AA Hitting Coach. Excited to work alongside a first-class organization and a group of exceptional people. Ready to get started!
The best is ahead!
