Nick Sogard

ANALYSIS
Sogard is the lesser of the two pieces headed to Boston, as Hernandez is viewed by some talent evaluators as a potential everyday catcher at the big-league level if he can improve his receiving skills as he moves through the minors. The 23-year-old Sogard, meanwhile, is more of a lottery ticket for Boston. A 12th-round pick in 2019, Sogard showed a discerning eye at the plate in his first taste of professional ball in the New York-Penn League, getting on base at a .405 clip in 63 games. He also stole 20 bags in 26 attempts, but he offered little impact at the plate with only five extra-base hits (all doubles) across 214 at-bats.
