S. YARMOUTH, Mass.— Mickey Wiswall (BC) not only grew up in New England, but still attends school here in Massachusetts at Boston College. The Stoneham, Mass. native made for a perfect choice for this year’s John Claffey New England Top Prospect Award, batting .302 in his 43 games this season while playing for the Y-D Red Sox.

The 6-1 infielder played at first base for the Y-D Red Sox this summer, though he traditionally plays third base while at school. With 48 hits, 30 RBI, and only 37 strikeouts in 159 appearances at the plate, Wiswall has been a formidable hitter that quickly became a fan favorite.
