Eyanson has stood out. He has made three starts so far this season down with Greenville and has a 0.73 ERA across 12 1\/3 innings pitched. One thing that makes him stand out even more right now is the fact that he hasn&#8217;t walked a single batter yet this season. He has an 18-to-0 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 12 1\/3 innings pitched. <\/p>\n<p>Red Sox Have Another Elite Pitching Prospect Emerging<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01kpk9rbwq3771dwymtt.jpg\" alt=\"Tigers starting pitcher Anthony Eyanson\" title=\"Tigers starting pitcher Anthony Eyanson\" width=\"3000\" height=\"1687\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"71\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Tigers starting pitcher Anthony Eyanson 24, The LSU Tigers take on Little Rock Trojans in game 1 of the 2025 NCAA Div 1 Regional Baseball Championship at Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge, LA. Friday, May 30, 2025. | SCOTT CLAUSE \/ USATODAY Network \/ USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"75\">That&#8217;s going to play. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"78\">Eyanson is young, of course. He&#8217;s just 21 years old and is less than a year removed from being drafted. But he already looks like he&#8217;s too good for High-A right now. What makes this idea even more wild is the fact that he didn&#8217;t make his professional debut in 2025 after being drafted. Last year, he made 20 total appearances with the LSU Tigers and had a 3.00 ERA in 108 innings pitched. Rather than rolling him out for an appearance or two as the 2025 season wound down, the Red Sox waited. He has just three professional appearances under his belt right now, but he has already done enough to turn heads.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7b\">If he can keep up this performance over the next few weeks, a promotion to Double-A should be in the cards. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7e\">Take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=tolle-000pay\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Payton Tolle from the 2025 season<\/a>, for example. He was drafted in the second round of the 2024 MLB Draft and didn&#8217;t make his professional debut until 2025. He made his professional debut in High-A and made 11 appearances and had a 3.62 ERA before being promoted. Tolle went all the way from High-A to the majors over the course of the season. Eyanson has been even better than Tolle was at this point last year down in High-A.  <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7h\">If he can keep up this level of production, we should see a promotion to Double-A in the coming weeks for Eyanson. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It&#8217;s just April 19, but Boston Red Sox fans should already be paying attention to what No. 10&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":679243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2276],"tags":[5,2291,4,1586],"class_list":{"0":"post-679242","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb-draft","8":"tag-baseball","9":"tag-major-league-baseball-draft","10":"tag-mlb","11":"tag-mlb-draft"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/116432458039850157","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679242","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=679242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/679242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/679243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=679242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=679242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=679242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
