Schaffner Surprises with Top-20 Draft Pick | Boston Red Sox News
Description
Jake Schaffner, a surprise 20th overall pick by the Boston Red Sox in the MLB Draft, defied expectations after a stellar season at UNC — leading the team in batting average and stolen bases, and previously winning defensive player of the year at North Dakota State. The North Carolina native becomes the highest-drafted Tar Heel since 2017 and the first since Vance Honeycutt, showcasing elite speed (26 steals) and power (50 RBIs, 96 hits) while scoring 85 runs. His unexpected rise makes him a breakout prospect to watch in the pros.
