Jose Iglesias, reported as 19 years old, is a Cuban prospect signed by the Boston Red Sox for a reported deal of $8 million over four years, including a $3 million bonus. Baseball Beginnings obtained this video in Arizona. You can see a lot of Red Sox player development hallmarks with this guy. First, let’s start with the size and body type. This guy isn’t gifted with the long and lean frame, but he’s making up for it with his hands. The bat is the reason the kid is here and you’ll see it in the swing. He’s a flashy defender who wants you to be aware that he is a flashy defender. I don’t need to break this guy down for anyone, you’ll all see what they like as soon as you press play after the jump.
As long as you’re here looking at a Red Sox prospects, why not have a look at the package we produced on Alex Hassan this summer. Red Sox farm followers know him as the guy drafted as a pitcher who is getting the chance to prove he can hit his way to the big leagues.
