Brayan Bello Set to Resume Throwing Tomorrow

 Red Sox pitcher Brayan Bello is set to resume throwing tomorrow after being shut down for the weekend due to forearm soreness. Bello in 2022 posted a 4.71 ERA in 11 starts and posted a 2.59 ERA in his final six starts. He struck out 55 batters in his 11 starts. 


Bello is key if the Red Sox are going to contend this year. If he has injury concerns all season, it is very hard to envision a scenario where the Red Sox are contenders. The Red Sox are banking on the young ace to develop into the next potential ace of the rotation. 


Bello is poised to be really good this season if he is fully healthy. He has the stuff to be a really good arm for this Red Sox team down the stretch, but the Red Sox are asking for him to do so much. It is reasonable to assume that the Red Sox are banking him to be a front end, 1A starter. There are so many question marks with a pitcher like him, like if he can stay healthy and if he can have a really good breakout season after an experimental 2022 season. 


Some fans are alarmed by the fact that Bello is having forearm soreness this early in his career. Many fans hope this issue will not be an issue that lingers all season l0ng. History says that this can potentially lead to Tommy John surgery, but nevertheless this could also be an issue that is resolved with the weekend of rest. This will be interesting to see how this all pans out at the end.

Mikey Nabbout’s Return and The Prep’s Complete Game Leads to a Win VS Attleboro

By: Jason Stellakis DANVERS— On a warm night in November, the St. John’s Prep Football team defeated the Attleboro Bombardiers, 46-7. The Prep will move on to the next round of the playoffs and play Andover High School next Friday.  Similar to last week, the Prep’s offense dominated in the first half. Perhaps one of the highlights of the night was star wide receiver Jesse Ofurie’s 65 yard TD from quarterback Deacon Robillard.  Robillard, making only his third start of the season, threw for 3 TD in the first half alone. Touchdowns in the first half alone were scored by Jesse Ofurie (2), Cam LaGrassa (1), Steph Patrick (1), Carson Browne (1), Jack Fillion (1), and Santiago Quiceno (1). The Prep led Attleboro at the half, 46-0.  On the other side of the ball, saying the Prep’s defense was spectacular would be an understatement. The Prep did not allow a single first down from the Attleboro offense.  One of the biggest stories coming into the game was the return of defens...

Marcelo Mayer Holds the Future for the Red Sox

  MLB Pipeline released the 2023 list for top prospects , and Red Sox top prospect Marcelo Mayer ranks 9th overall. The poised superstar has the potential to become the league’s best shortstop once he reaches the major leagues.  In his 91 games played in 2022 combined in both Single-A Salem and High-A Greenville, Mayer slashed .280/.399/.489 with 13 HRs . The number four overall pick in 2021 has real potential But he is only a prospect, and all people can do is make assumptions to how he will pan out. With the departure of longtime SS Xander Bogaerts, it can be implied that the Red Sox are reliant on Mayer making the major leagues in just one or two seasons. Because Mayer has only played in Single A, he is most likely going to need two seasons in the minors before he gets a taste of the bigs. With this all being said, the Red Sox are taking a huge risk with Mayer. It is a good time to remember that top prospects do not always pan out. It happened in 1993 with the Yankees and p...
