There's officially a new No. 1 prospect in the Boston Red Sox's organization.

When the 2026 Major League Baseball season kicked off, young flamethrower Payton Tolle was the club's No. 1 overall prospect, per MLB.com. Tolle was promoted to the majors after beginning the season in Triple-A as injuries popped up in the starting rotation. So far this season, he has made four starts and has a 2.78 ERA in 22 2/3 innings pitched. He has pitched enough that he has graduated from prospect status. Now, young infielder Franklin Arias is the club's No. 1 overall prospect , per MLB.com.

Arias certainly has earned the title.
