Connelly Early Holding his Own in Spring Training
Boston Red Sox left-handed pitching prospect Connelly Early has looked quiet so far at spring training as he competes for the final spot in the Boston starting rotation. Across 12 innings, the left-hander has held a 2.25 ERA with a 1.08 WHIP while striking nine hitters. He has allowed just three free passes. Early made his MLB debut in the second half of the 2025 campaign and posted a 2.23 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over his first 19 1/3 innings in the majors. During this impressive debut, he racked up 29 punchouts with a stellar 5.1% BB%. However, despite his high upside, Johan Oviedo is trending towards claiming the No. 5 spot in the starting rotation, which would send Early to Triple-A Worcester. Even though he will likely begin the season in the minor leagues, he should contend for a first-half return to Boston. He is worth stashing in deeper leagues ahead of Opening Day.
