MLB DRAFT
Round 4 by Red Sox in 2012


http://espn.go.com/b...cluding-buttrey

* Round 4: Ty Buttrey, RHP, Providence High (SC): Considered one of the top 40 players in the entire draft, Boston gladly scooped him up in the fourth after he slid due to signability concerns. A highly projectable 19-year-old, Buttrey's fastball already hits 96 miles per hour. He complements his heater with a very good knuckle curveball and a developing changeup. He had been committed to the University of Arkansas.

I am really excited about this kid. Obviously, he's a long way off, but he's probably my favorite pick of this year's crop. I'm looking forward to watching him develop.

I'm bumping this because I was wondering if anyone knew anything about his potential debut? SoxProspects has him on GCL roster, MiLB.com backs it up. Hopefully we get to see him soon because I am intrigued by anyone who can throw 96 at age 18.

Funny story about Buttrey being banned from HS graduation ceremonies because of the draft: http://sports.yahoo....-165707585.html

Of course, 24 hours later, after the story got traction, the school principal wisely realized she was about to be embarrassed on national TV (as James Roper might say), and reversed her decision: http://sports.yahoo....-180126408.html.

Buttrey debuted for the GCL affiliate on Aug 1, pitched one inning in relief striking out 2, walking none, hitting a batter and giving up no hits. I am not sure why but he has not appeared again in a game.
