Koss is the No. 31 ranked prospect in the Red Sox system, per SoxProspects.com. The 24-year-old spent the 2021 campaign with High-A Greenville, where he hit .271 with 15 homers and 55 RBI in 104 games. He joined the Red Sox in Fort Myers as a non-roster invitee.
Also worth noting from Boston's 7-6 win is second-year slugger Bobby Dalbec homering for the second consecutive game.
Nathan Eovaldi, the Red Sox' Opening Day starter, allowed two runs on three hits while striking out three batters in three innings of work.
Boston's will visit the Minnesota Twins for their next spring matchup on Saturday with first pitch scheduled for 1:05 p.m. ET.
