The Boston Red Sox have been an exciting team to watch over the last week, but what they've been doing is nothing compared to what one of their young prospects has done.

Cutter Coffey, Boston's second-round pick in 2022, has been on fire with High-A Greenville over the last week, as he earned South Atlantic League Player of the Week honors for his performance.

Since June 10, Coffey has played in five games and has hit .421 with six home runs, 15 RBIs and a 1.96 OPS. 

Going back before last week even started, Coffey has hit seven total home runs and has hit one in six straight games.

Earlier in the season, Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers broke the franchise record for home runs in consecutive games with his sixth.

Coffey is currently Boston's No. 35 prospect, according to Sox Prospects, but that will surely go up after this incredible stretch.
