Red Sox infield prospect Louis Andujar has been named the Florida Complex League Player of the Week for the week of May 11-17, Minor League Baseball announced on Monday.
Andujar appeared in five games for the rookie-level FCL Red Sox last week, going 9-for-18 (.500) with four doubles, two home runs, eight RBIs, six runs scored, two stolen bases, five walks, and two strikeouts. The right-handed hitting 18-year-old recorded four multi-hit games during that stretch, including a three-double performance on Friday.
Following a 1-for-4 showing on Monday, Andujar is now batting .410/.489/.744 with seven doubles, two home runs, 11 RBIs, 11 runs scored, four stolen bases, five walks, and 10 strikeouts through 11 games (45 plate appearances) to begin his first season in the United States. That includes a .364/.462/.818 line against lefties and a .429/.500/.714 line against righties, albeit in a limited sample.
Among 90 qualified hitters in the Florida Complex League, Andujar ranks first in extra-base hits (9), second in total bases (29), third in OPS (1.233), fourth in batting average and slugging percentage, fifth in isolated power (.333), 10th in on-base percentage, and 43rd in strikeout rate (22.2%), per MiLB.com’s leaderboards.
Defensively, Andujar has seen most of his playing time with the FCL Red Sox come at third base. The 6-foot, 185-pounder has yet to commit an error in eight starts and 56 1/3 innings at the hot corner. He has also made two starts at second base and one start at DH.
A native of the Dominican Republic, Andujar signed with the Red Sox for just $20,000 as an international free agent out of San Cristobal last January. He made his professional debut in the 2025 Dominican Summer League, where he slashed .280/.450/.524 with five doubles, five home runs, 19 RBIs, 24 runs scored, eight stolen bases, 22 walks, and 20 strikeouts across 29 games spanning 111 plate appearances.
Andujar — who does not turn 19 until September — is not yet ranked among Boston’s top 60 prospects by SoxProspects.com. The outlet describes him as having a “solid approach and bat-to-ball skills” as well as “excellent range” and an “above-average arm.”
If he continues to perform at this exceptional pace in the Florida Complex League, Andujar could soon be in line for a promotion to Low-A Salem for his first taste of full-season ball.
