The 6-4, 245-pound Phillips, selected in the competitive balance round, transferred to play for the Volunteers, where he converted from a two-way player to focusing solely on the mound. His fastball touches 101, and he also features a sharp, hard slider. In his first year as a starter in 2025, Phillips — who puzzles batters with a low arm slot — went 4-5 with a 3.90 ERA and 27 percent strikeout rate. One evaluator likened him to a righthander version of Red Sox 2024 draftee Brandon Clarke.
Second round compensation pick, No. 75 overall: IF Henry Godbout, Virginia
With a pick received as compensation for Nick Pivetta's departure in free agency, the Red Sox chose junior Henry Godbout, who hit .309/.397/497 with eight homers last season. He puts the ball in play (8 percent strikeout rate) and shoots line drives all over the field with modest power, but the Sox are hopeful they can help him tap into more power and that he can play second and short.

Third round pick, No. 87 overall: RHP Anthony Eyanson, LSU
Eyanson — who transferred from UC San Diego for his junior year — went 12-2 with a 3.00 ERA for the national champions, posting a 34 percent strikeout rate and 8 percent walk rate. Eyanson showed the ability to command pitches. He works with a low-90s fastball that can touch 98, but also has a bat-dodging slider with sharp vertical break, a bigger curveball that he uses against lefties, and a changeup.
