Welcome to the Boston Herald’s live tracker of the Red Sox’s selections for the 2024 MLB Draft.

After the first two rounds on Sunday night, the draft resumes Monday at 2 p.m. ET. We’ll update this as the Red Sox continue to make their picks:

Round 1: Braden Montgomery, Texas A&M (No. 12)

Braden Montgomery was ranked No. 7 and No. 8 overall by Baseball America and MLB Pipeline, respectively, so the Red Sox were surprised and “excited” to see the switch-hitter out of Texas A&M still around when they were on the verge of making the 12th overall selection.

Before breaking his ankle during the Super Regionals this spring, the 21-year-old was hitting .322 with 27 home runs, 85 RBI and a 1.187 OPS in 61 games.

Red Sox director of amateur scouting Devin Pearson said Montgomery is someone the organization “has been a fan of for a long time, since high school.” They believe he can play all three outfield positions.

Round 2: Payton Tolle, TCU (No. 50)

Left-hander Payton Tolle is the highest pitcher the Red Sox have made since selecting Tanner Houck 24th overall in the 2017 draft.

Tolle, a towering presence on the mound at 6-foot-6 and 250 pounds, played for Wichita State before transferring to TCU for his junior year this spring. In 81.1 innings, he had a 3.21 ERA and struck out 125 batters, earning Big 12 Pitcher of the Year honors.

The Red Sox plan to develop the 21-year-old, previously a two-way player, exclusively as a pitcher.
