MLB will hold its "Spring Breakout" series this weekend, and the Boston Red Sox will showcase their top prospects in a matchup against the Atlanta Braves at JetBlue Park.
The inaugural "Spring Breakout" series was created to showcase the future stars of MLB, and there will be 16 exhibition contests in ballparks across the Grapefruit and Cactus Leagues.
There have been high expectations around Boston's top three prospects: Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer and Kyle Teel. And they'll look to make a huge impact and show off the potential they can bring to the big leagues. Ceddanna Rafaela has been competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster, but he'll also participate Saturday. The quartet will bat in that order as the top four prospects according to Sox Prospects.
Miguel Bleis also will feature in the "Spring Breakout" matchup, and Boston's top pitching prospect Wikelman Gonzalez will get the starting nod.
