US EditionGarrett Crochet Can Relate to the Life Payton Tolle Is About to Live
Payton Tolle, a 22-year-old left-handed pitcher with a 3.04 ERA and 133 strikeouts in the minors, fills a rotation spot amid Red Sox pitching challenges.
- On Friday, the Boston Red Sox are promoting 22-year-old left-handed pitching prospect Payton Tolle to debut at Fenway Park against Paul Skenes, with first pitch at 7:10 p.m.
- Tolle's meteoric climb this season, with a 3.04 ERA and 133 strikeouts across three minor-league levels, meets Boston's rotation need after Walker Buehler moved to the bullpen last week.
- Scouts point to Tolle's fastball sitting in the 95-96 MPH range, touching 98.6, and 7.3 feet of extension, with a five-pitch mix and 31.6% whiffs in Triple-A, plus a 42% pitch whiff rate this season per Synergy.
- Boston will select Tolle's contract tomorrow, adding him to the major-league roster and committing to carry him on the 40-man roster through the offseason amid the pennant race.
- Under September roster rules beginning September 1, teams can carry a 14th pitcher, which could affect Boston's optioning of Brennan Bernardino or retaining Payton Tolle long-term.
