View Draft Report
School: Oklahoma State
Commit/Drafted: Red Sox ’21 (13)
Age at Draft: 21.5
The Red Sox drafted Ehrhard in the 13th round out of high school in the 2021 draft, but the outfielder didn’t sign and instead headed to Oklahoma State. He made the Big 12 all-freshman team after hitting .330/.427/.407 with 18 stolen bases and has steadily added a bit more power to his game each year. Now listed at 5-foot-11, 190 pounds, Ehrhard remains a contact hitter who thrives by minimizing his strikeouts and getting on base, but he’s hitting a few more balls over the fence and into the gaps for doubles as a junior compared to his first two seasons.

Track Record: The Red Sox were intrigued enough by Ehrhard that they drafted him twice. They called his name in the 13th round in 2021, when he was in high school in Florida. Instead, he spent three seasons at Oklahoma State and one summer in the Cape Cod League, where he was part of a loaded Hyannis squad that also featured Cam Smith, Jamie Arnold and Mike Sirota. Boston drafted him in the fourth round in 2024, then shipped him to Los Angeles in the deal that sent Dustin May to the Red Sox.
Scouting Report: Ehrhard is the kind of player who does just enough right to carve out a big league career. He knows the strike zone, hits the ball decently hard and puts his best-struck drives in the air more often than not. Added strength and bat speed amplified Ehrhard’s power in 2025, though his slugging percentage in the big leagues might be filled with more doubles than home runs. With the Red Sox, Ehrhard played more in left field. After the trade, he shifted to center field. His above-average speed plays at both spots, and his average arm strength fits anywhere in the grass. He moves well to his right and left, but his routes and jumps are shaky on balls hit over his head.
The Future: Ehrhard’s year-over-year gains made him a valuable trade chip. He has a chance to be a second-division regular who earns playing time by doing a little bit of everything.
