Cole Sturgeon has hit it off with Red Sox
Cole Sturgeon was a senior at Louisville when the Red Sox selected him in the 10th round of the 2014 amateur draft. He settled for a $10,000 bonus because what other choice did he have? It was either take that or give up baseball.
Sturgeon has since made his way to Double A Portland and last season appeared in two games for Triple A Pawtucket. The 25-year-old outfielder isn’t a prominent prospect, but he’s already accomplished more than most.
The Sox have noticed. Tuesday night’s 9-2 victory against the Pittsburgh Pirates marked the eighth time in spring training that Sturgeon was called up from minor league camp.
