The Red Sox rolled out their 2025 Minor League Awards on Thursday, spotlighting a crop of prospects the organization believes are built for Fenway.
Left-hander Payton Tolle, the club’s No. 2 prospect and a top-50 name in all of baseball, was named Pitcher of the Year after shredding three levels of the system with a 3.04 ERA and a ridiculous 133 strikeouts in 91.2 innings. He debuted with Boston in late August.
Slugger Jhostynxon Garcia, who split time between Portland, Worcester, and a cup of coffee in Boston, grabbed Offensive Player of the Year honors. The 22-year-old led all Red Sox minor leaguers in homers (21), runs (79), and total bases (204).
Defensive wizard Ahbram Liendo locked down Defensive Player of the Year, showing off versatility across the infield while turning 37 double plays for Portland.
Speedster Miguel Bleis, ranked No. 15 in the system, snagged Baserunner of the Year after swiping 27 bags between Greenville and Portland.
On the international side, 18-year-old Josue Brito took home Latin Program Position Player of the Year with a monster .606 slugging percentage in the Dominican Summer League, while righty Angelo Ladera, also 18, earned Latin Program Pitcher of the Year with a 2.20 ERA and a 5-1 record.
Hunter Dobbins, who reached the majors this year before tearing his ACL, was recognized with the Lou Gorman Award for perseverance and dedication.
The winners, chosen by Boston’s baseball operations department and roving instructors, will be honored Friday night at Fenway Park before the Sox face the Tigers.
