Podcast: Revisiting the 2021 Draft with Boston's Mayer

May 4th, 2023

On the latest Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff take a deep dive into the 2021 Draft and talk to top Red Sox prospect Marcelo Mayer -- who went No. 4 overall that year to Boston. Mayer dishes on his experience during that draft process, being a Yankees fan selected by the Red Sox, his mindset as he progresses through Boston's system after dealing with injuries and more.

The crew covers the shortstop-heavy 2021 Draft class and how those guys have played out so far, including prospects who have seen their stock change the most for better or worse. They also discuss a recent wave of Top 100 Prospect callups (among them: 2021 draftees Tanner Bibee and Bryce Miller) as well as the latest Rookie Power Rankings and Prospect Team of the Week before the conversation concludes, as always, with your listener mailbag questions.

On the MLB Pipeline Podcast, Callis and Mayo are your tour guides through all the unfolding stories and breaking news of baseball's top prospects.
