Scouting Report: Payton Eeles
Baltimore Orioles | 2B
Overall
Summary
Payton Tolle is a young left-handed pitcher for the Boston Red Sox who has emerged as a key contributor to the rotation in 2026. After a disappointing 2025 season, Tolle has shown significant improvement with a 1-2 record, 2.04-2.78 ERA, and impressive strikeout numbers (23-27 K's) over 17-22.2 innings pitched. He earned his first MLB win on May 12 against the Tigers, throwing seven strong innings with only one hit allowed. Tolle was Boston's top prospect after Roman Anthony graduated and is making a strong case for a permanent rotation spot, potentially challenging Brayan Bello for his position.
