John Farrell has confirmed that Boston Red Sox prospect Henry Owens will make his first MLB debut against the New York Yankees.
In 2011 MLB draft, Owens was a first-round pick in the 2011 MLB draft. The 6'6" lefthander has a 3.16 ERA with 103 strikeouts and 56 walks in 122 1/3 innings. He will be the first Red Sox starter to pitch his first MLB game at Yankee Stadium since 1997.
“It’s going to be probably the biggest stage that he’s going to make his debut on that the schedule has it,” Farrell said.
“But ideally having another left-hander go against that lineup in that ballpark.”
Farrell said that Owens has improved his command of late.
Baseball America’s Vince Lara-Cinisomo has wrote last August that Owens has a fastball that ranges from 88 to 92 mph and “succeeds more with deception than velocity because batters struggle to pick up the ball out of his hand,”
