Boston Red Sox prospect Chase Meidroth is almost as likely to get on base with a walk as he is with a hit.
The 5-foot-10, 170-pound infielder has 83 hits and 71 walks in 80 games with Triple-A Worcester this season. But that’s only part of the story. Meidroth has also only struck out 40 times.
It’s that terrific plate discipline from the 22-year-old Meidroth that earned him a nickname with his Worcester teammates.
