Drafted: 11th Round (340th overall pick)
Northcut was projected as a 3rd-round talent in the 2018 draft, ranked the 69th best prospect by BA and 81st by MLB, but his commitment to Vanderbilt gave him the perception of being a tough sign. The Sox selected him in the 11th round and signed him for 3rd round money ($565K).
Northcut was a two-way player in HS, splitting time between third base and pitcher (he can throw in the low-90s), but he'll be developed strictly as a position player. He possesses good hit and power tools, and was named Gatorade's Ohio Baseball Player of the Year.
Northcut will report to the GCL Red Sox, where he'll play alongside 1st round pick Triston Casas.
