The Red Sox selected North Dakota State right-hander Cade Feeney with their 13th-round pick in the 2023 MLB Draft at No. 388 overall.
Feeney posted a 4.57 ERA and 1.29 WHIP with 78 strikeouts to 12 walks in 14 starts (80 2/3 innings) for the Bison this past season. The 21-year-old junior was named to the 2023 All-Summit League First Team for the second time in his collegiate career.
A native of North Dakota himself, Feeney stands at 6-feet and 195 pounds. The righty operates with a three-pitch mix that consists of a low-90s fastball as well as a changeup and slider. He has solid command of all three offerings, per SoxProspects.com’s Ian Cundall.
Feeney, who turns 22 later this month, is the eighth pitcher to be drafted by Boston within the club’s first 15 picks. Though he could return to Fargo for his senior season next year, the Red Sox have the ability to sign Feeney for up to $150,000 without dipping into their bonus pool.
