Catch all thread how Sox top prospects are doing in 2021

[Dominikk85]

Only looking at guys that are not in mlb of course (so no Vaughn, madrigal, Mercedes, crochet and kopech even some of them have not exceeded eligibility) , I thought it would be interesting to have it in one thread how they are doing for lazy readers and maybe update every week or two. 

Jared kelly:

He did have a rough start in his First two starts. Positive is 8 Ks in 5 innings but also 9 walks and lots of homers. Not really worried though that early.

Benyamin bailey:

He has struggled so far with a sub mendoza line average, one Homer and 32% Ks. He is still young though and might some time to adjust to full season A ball

Gavin sheets

He has been doing well with a 328 avg and 3 homers so far. Both walk and strikeout rate are worse though but he is hitting the ball more in the air which is good but also might be a sign of selling out for power a little. If he can keep those improvements in batted ball quality while getting back his old plate discipline he still probably can be at least a decent 1b prospect albeit likely not with the sox. 

 

Adolfo:

4 homers already and actually slightly improved K rate but still 30% and he is old for being that raw.

Burger:

Showing some good power and his sub mendoza line average is mostly driven by a super low babip. 

Not a huge fan of the plate discipline though with low ish walks and Ks up to 24%. You hope for a better k/bb rate from a polished corner only college hitter but it is good he is playing at all after the injuries and doing well.

No particular order and just did a few I find interesting, feel free to add some more. Probably Thompson an dalquist should be mentioned but I'm too lazy to do them right now:)
