Overview

• Players labeled baseballs with their team names and Varitek hit them, with distance determining draft position during a Tuesday session.
• Greg Weissert’s ball was fouled straight up into the cage, leaving the reliever with the last pick in the first round.
• Reports have not identified which player earned the first overall selection.
• Varitek serves as Boston’s game-planning and run-prevention coach after a 15-year Red Sox career as a three-time All-Star.
• Coverage described the event as a lighthearted team moment, noting the club has previously used contests such as chipping golf balls off the Green Monster to set the order.
