FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Red Sox fans will get a treat during Spring Training as the club has added newly acquired top prospect Jeter Downs as a non-roster invitee to camp.

The power-hitting middle infielder is rated the No. 44 prospect by MLB Pipeline and vaults to No. 1 among Red Sox prospects. The Sox received Downs, outfielder Alex Verdugo and Minor League catcher Connor Wong (also invited to Spring Training) in the blockbuster trade that sent Mookie Betts and David Price to the Dodgers.

The 21-year-old Downs is believed to be about a year away from making an impact in the Major Leagues, but the Red Sox and their fans will get a chance to see his talent up close in the early weeks of Spring Training.

"Jeter Downs, a middle infielder who's a good athlete, a really baseball player who [last] year took a major step forward offensively," said Red Sox chief baseball officer Chaim Bloom. "And digging into that performance as our group did, we were really excited by the strides that he made and think he's got a chance to be a complete player that can really impact us. Again, a great kid who plays the game with really good feel and calmness, someone we feel will be really comfortable in the moment."

A right-handed hitter, Downs spent his first two professional seasons with the Reds, the team that took him as the 32nd overall pick in the 2017 Draft. In December 2018, he was dealt to the Dodgers as part of a package that included Yasiel Puig. Downs split last season between Class A Advanced Rancho Cucamonga and Double-A Tulsa, producing an .888 OPS and compiling 35 doubles, 24 homers, 24 steals, 86 RBIs and 92 runs.

The presence of Wong at camp will also be intriguing to fans and will serve as a vital time for the Red Sox to further evaluate their new addition.

"These are two guys we're really excited to acquire," said Bloom. "Both of them we think have the potential to really help us at the big league level. Obviously there's still some development ahead of both of them."

Wong hit .349 in 40 games after being moved up to Double-A at the end of 2019. For the season, he belted 24 homers go with 82 RBIs and 11 stolen bases. In addition to catcher, he can also play second and third.

"Connor Wong also has made a lot of strides offensively," said Bloom. "He's always had a very good offensive approach, has come into some power. He's a really good athlete behind the plate, so good that he's played the infield, second and third before. And those guys are hard to find. And a lot of times, when you have really good athletes behind the plate, they can sometimes exceed what you expect of them. And so far, he's progressed really well."

The Sox also added catcher Juan Centeno, outfielder César Puello and right-handed pitcher Denyi Reyes as non-roster invitees.
