The Red Sox completed drafting Wednesday, selecting its final 20 players to bring the number of total players drafted to 52.
The Red Sox kicked off the MLB draft by selecting infielder Kolbrin Vitek. Two players were selected in the supplemental round as compensation for losing Jason Bay and Billy Wagner on Monday. On Tuesday, the team participated in Rounds 2-30, with Rounds 31-50 finishing off the draft Wednesday.
The Red Sox made two notable selections. In the 36h round, Boston plucked Shane Rowland, a catcher from a Florida high school. Why is he notable? Because his father, Donnie, is the director of international scouting for the Yankees.
The Red Sox stayed in-house for their next notable pick, snagging Zach Kapstein from Tiverton High School in Rhode Island. Zach is the son of Red Sox executive Jeremy Kapstein, a former baseball agent currently running for the office of lieutenant governor in Rhode Island.
