The Boston Red Sox chose Owen Hull with the 67th pick in the 2026 MLB Draft, part of the Competitive Balance Round B. Hull, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound player, excelled at the University of North Carolina after a challenging start at George Mason. He displayed impressive stats last season, slashing.393/.500/.615, ranking highly in hits and runs, while helping lead the Tar Heels to the College World Series. Scouts are impressed with his physicality, though there are concerns about his unorthodox swing. The Red Sox will look to refine his swing as he progresses.
