Trevor Story appears to be having a productive season for the Boston Red Sox, leading the team with 41 RBIs and 11 home runs. However, his .232 batting average and .637 OPS suggest that his overall contributions may be lacking. With two-plus years left on his hefty contract, the Red Sox are contemplating future options at shortstop, particularly with the upcoming 2025 MLB Draft.

The Red Sox hold the No. 16 overall pick and are eyeing Steele Hall, a talented young shortstop from Hewitt-Trussville High School, who has rapidly risen in draft rankings. Hall, a sprinter with impressive athleticism, will need to refine his hitting and power in the minors, but his potential could align well with the Red Sox's strategy of bringing in younger players.
