Coming out of college, Noah Song was one of the best pitching prospects in the 2019 MLB Draft. He absolutely dominated his last year at the Naval Academy after going 11-1 with a 1.44 ERA and .915 WHIP while striking out 161 in 94 innings. His efforts were rewarded with selections as a Dick Howser Trophy finalist and a 4th round pick by the Boston Red Sox. Song continued his domination with Boston's low-A affliate Lowell, posting a 1.06 ERA and .882 WHIP while striking out 19 in 17 innings pitched. Despite being one of the best players in the draft, Song dropped to the 4th round because he is required to serve 2 years in the Navy before he can return to professional baseball.
