James Tibbs III, the top prospect coming to the Red Sox in the Rafael Devers trade<\/a>, notched his first hit with the organization Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Currently ranked as Boston\u2019s No. 6 prospect according to MLB Pipeline<\/a>, Tibbs recorded a single the other way to left field for AA Portland in a home loss to Akron.<\/p>\n

In the contest, Tibbs also scored his first run and earned his first walk for the Sea Dogs.<\/p>\n

Wednesday\u2019s game followed an underwhelming debut for Tibbs with Portland. The 22-year-old lefty started off his time with the Sea Dogs going 0-for-4 at the plate with three strikeouts. <\/p>\n

In both contests, the outfielder started in right and hit second in the batting order.<\/p>\n

Tibbs joins Portland after playing 57 games and posting an .857 OPS at High-A Eugene Emeralds. Before debuting for the Sea Dogs, the former top pick had never played beyond High-A.<\/p>\n

Tibbs was one of four players<\/a> traded by the San Francisco Giants to the Red Sox for Devers on Sunday, June 15. Before he was traded, MLB Pipeline had Tibbs ranked as the fourth best prospect in San Francisco\u2019s organization.<\/p>\n

The Giants selected the outfielder 13th overall in last year\u2019s MLB Draft, after he slashed .363\/.488\/.777 as a junior with Florida State.<\/p>\n

Tibbs was shipped along with 20-year-old pitcher Jose Bello who was assigned to Boston\u2019s Florida Complex League, 23-year-old pitcher Kyle Harrison<\/a> who is in Worcester, and 28-year-old reliever Jordan Hicks who is currently on the 15-Day Injured List.<\/p>\n

In his first two games with the Giants, Devers went 2-for-8 with one double, one RBI, and a walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Tibbs III, the top prospect coming to the Red Sox in the Rafael Devers trade, notched his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":116819,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2375],"tags":[2514,5,141,48,2542,4,89,2543],"class_list":{"0":"post-116818","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boston-red-sox","8":"tag-2514","9":"tag-baseball","10":"tag-boston","11":"tag-boston-red-sox","12":"tag-bostonredsox","13":"tag-mlb","14":"tag-red-sox","15":"tag-redsox"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/114713073263240049","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116818","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=116818"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/116818\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/116819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=116818"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=116818"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=116818"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
